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.

Let me be clear about one thing, here: The message warns that the new version of AVG Free Edition has problems not with just any version of the Roxio program, but with *older* versions, and this message doesn't recommend getting red of any Roxio program, but rather suggests updating the one it thinks you have.

So, with that said, is your reassurance below founded on your husband's system having an older version of Easy CD/DVD Creator? Or does he have a current version of that program? This would seem to be a critical difference in what one might make of that warning, before going ahead an installing the new AVG in disregard of it, and feeling optimistic about the result..

Thank you.

Yes, I know. I'm the one who installed it on my husband's computer so I know what it says. I'm just saying he does have that program on his system but still installed it anyway and has no problem. I only mean there must be some documented problem somewhere with the program and AVG, but my husband doesn't have any problems with it, so I just said, even *if* you had it on your system, it should still be OK. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: mercy0421 Please contact me if I may not recognize your contact info before adding me or I may not add you!

You have to understand that the install program doesn't say "if you have this program Roxio you might have a probLeM;" it says "we have *detected* that you have this program and it will be a problem." See? So I appreciate the reassurance, but need more specific response.

thank you very muCH.

I don't use AVG, but my husband does, and he got the same warning but installed it, anyway, and it's working fine on his end, too, so even if you did have it, there might be some documented problems or they wouldn't have put that warning in there, but it's working fine for him. Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: mercy0421 Please contact me if I may not recognize your contact info before adding me or I may not add you!

Yardbird, Just ignore that warning. I don't know why you're getting it since you don't have Roxio anyway, but I got it with 2 different versions of Roxio and I still installed AVG and it has been working fine here. Troy

Using the link Allen provided, I downloaded the update of AVG Free Edition. When I tried to install it, it warned me that there was an old version of Roxio EZ CD/DVD Creator on my system which would interfere with AVG.

I'm pretty sure I don't have the Roxio program.  I would have to have
downloaded, installed it and, of course, paid for it, which ssurely would've
made me remember.  I do have the latest version of the Poikasoft program
Easy CD/DVD Extractor, but that isn't the same thing.

I can't find the Roxio program in my Start/Programs list, nor under
Ad/Remove software in Control Panel.

Can anyone advise me, please?

Thanks.
