On 12/1/2010, AVG released an update to its AVG 2011 (AVG 10) anti-virus program. After this update is installed, the AVG software will prompt the user to reboot the computer. However, after doing this, the computer may get stuck in a loop of rebooting without bringing the user to the normal desktop. If this has affected your system, call My Computer Works at 1-877-262-3581 so our technicians can help you. Otherwise, please continue reading this article.
- This issue only affects users of AVG 2011 (AVG 10) anti-virus software.
- This issue does not affect users of AVG 9 or earlier.
- Only Windows 7 and Vista users are affected (Windows XP Users are not affected by this issue).
You can also see the version by clicking (or double-clicking) on the AVG icon on the desktop or in the system tray.
Doing this will open the main AVG interface. The version information can then be found on the lower left of the AVG program window:
