AVG constantly requiring a reboot

Matt

For the past few days, my AVG installation is saying that I need to reboot to finish the update. It's doing this almost as soon as I turn the laptop on. Has anyone else experienced this? It's a fully paid for version, and doesn't expire while May next year, so can't really change to a different software.

Open AVG Control Center and double-click the Update Manager component. There should be the following settings:

Update immediately
(If computer restart is required)

Require confirmation from the user

If your settings are any different, please modify them to these values.

Then in AVG Control Center highlight the Update Manager component (click on it once). Push the Settings button and switch to the Advanced tab.
Push Delete update temporary files button and confirm with OK.
Please check if there is WAIT4SD file present in the AVG program folder (C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7 by default). If there is a file with such name, delete it.
Reboot your computer.
Now please try to update again.

If the problem still persists, please send e-mail directly from AVG: AVG -> Information -> Technical Support by E-Mail. This email will contain information about your system and about AVG installed on your computer.

if this doesn't work then reinstall AVG as it has been compromised or corrupted

Cheers Mike, that looks to have fixed it. I cleared the temp update files, and then it did a 50mb update, so it looks like the updater had become stuck.
