Well, after being spooked by the AVG Free Edition's installation warning
message yesterday enough to put off installing the latest update of the
program and asking about the warning message here, and being sufficiently
reassured by the responses I got that it wouldn't be suicidal to go ahead
with the install, I did.
Well, I was prepared to tolerate that message about a conflict with Roxio
Easy CD/DVD Creator coming up again a making me nervous despite everyone's
reassurances, but, and check this out, the message didn't come up this time!
The install program simply proceeded normally, and my updated AVG is now
fully installed, up and running, and I just updated its virus definitions
manually, just for the fun of it. I'll bet anything it will do the auto
update in a few minutes, at the usual time, for which I see that it's still
scheduled because, unlike other programs that require regular updating, such
as AdAware, AVG doesn't ever notice that you're up to date and decline to
download the same definition files again. It just does its thing. Then you
have to fight feeling guilty and paranoid if you don't reboot yet again,
wondering, hey maybe they added some vitally important new definition files
in just the past fifteen minutes? Better not take a chance...
Well, it's been fun so far.
