Inge Sorry to hear you are having all the problems with AVG 7.0... If I read right in some of your posts in the past you have Norton running on your computer also. I'm running it also, along with Norton Inernet Security.... I'm not running AVG to scan my e-mail... I've found that I have to disable, NIS first before it will download my updates.. Hope this helps...
