You know, this used to be a great AVG and free to boot. Now they've really fracked it up somehow, maybe because it's become bloatware with too many cutsy features. For us, it consistently crashes EVERY TIME we did a manual system scan on four different XP SP2 PCs (after that we didn't dare try it on our 10 Vista PCs)

We've switched to Avast Free on notebooks and the new McAfee suite on our workstations (NEVER any problems with either)

Adios AVG, you were good once, not RIP.
