Hi Julie,
Thanks for the clarification. But I'm not sure there's any correlation here
with my experience. First of all, when I tried running the installation
program a second time, without changing anything on my system,it didn't come
up with that message again. Which suggests there's something just quirky
about the install program itself. There hadn't been any version of any
Roxio digital audio program on my system in the first place.
So, in your case, by contrast, you're saying that the install program
accurately detected an older version of Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator, but you
went ahead with the install, didn't bother to either delete the program from
your system or update it, and nothing bad seems to be happening, so far? Is
that it?
As for the fact that your computer is four years old and you haven't changed
anything on it, I don't understand that. A computer is one thing, and the
software on it is another thing. Most people install all sorts of software
on their computer over the period during they own that particular machine.
They upgrade this program, get this new other program, all sorts of things.
It's just normal. a computer's not like a car, where very few people do
something radical like have a different engine installed every now and then.
You mean you just never change anything about the software on a computer
until you buy a new one, years later, and then whatever has been
pre-installed on it, that becomes the software you run for the next four
years or so? You don't upgrade or update anything, whether it's Jaws or
Word or an antivirus program or anything? Maybe I misunderstood, and this
isn't quite what you meant.
Anyway, thanks, and I hope the AVG/Roxio bug doesn't cause you any problems
with either your virus protection or your digital audio projects.

It's an older version. I said he got the same message you did, so yes, it's
an older version. Our PC is almost four
years old, and we haven't updated the program, so that's why we got that
message from AVG.
