Just so you know, if you have Windows 7 installed & use AVG Free, you may start experiencing the pc 'freezing' up while trying to do stuff.
It's been happening to me for the last couple of weeks now & just found out that it was due to some upgrade with AVG.

So best bet for now is either uninstall & put an earlier version on, or use a different virus killer.
Balls, I've just put AVG9 on my laptop.. How do I get an earlier version?Originally Posted by RenegadeGenius

I've been smacking the pc box a few times these last couple of weeksi am so glad you posted this as i have been getting this freeze problem and now i no why, Thank You
Glad I solved it as almost did a format!!
There is a link to 8.5 within that thread link. I'm gonna try Avast though as that's also free & some people have switched over to that with no problems, so might give it a go.
Cheers, i'll take a look.There is a link to 8.5 within that thread link. I'm gonna try Avast though as that's also free & some people have switched over to that with no problems, so might give it a go.
I have Windows 7 & I've been using AVG 9 for ages without any problems :ymsmug:

What processor do u have? I have a quad-core. Judging by a what was said in that thread, most people that had problems had a dual or quad-core processor.

Hmmmm, seems it isn't AVG9.... still getting lockups & have no idea why.
At the mo I can only think of formatting & starting from scratch, but really don't want to have to do that as it takes so long to get everything back up and running....
Very annoying.
Still been getting freezing even on a clean install of windows 7 X(
Got a new psu & graphics card incase it was something to do with those.
Was fine on new install until I connected the router/modem - soon as that had been done, the freezing carried on, so looks like its some sort of network driver / device problem with win7.
Tried vista instead and same problem - just about to try going back to xp and see if that sorts it - bit annoying as don't think xp will use all my 4gig of ram & not sure how it'll cope with a 4 core processor, but can't be worse than not being able to use the pc at all!
Seems loads of people have had problems with win7 - no one seems to have solved the problem either.
