    AVG Free Edition 2017 Installation


    I've been using AVG Free Edition for a few years but the latest version gives me probs installing
    and when it is installed the GUI is different and stupid. My last installed version included Zen/Anti-virus
    but after uninstalling (wasn't an easy task) I can't even find a similar version or even this same version.
    So, the heck with this and I installed Avast Free and it works like a charm.
    Now I see Avast purchased AVG and keep both programs separate. But they haven't done that and I've
    seen some components of AVG used in Avast if it is a certain version.
    The only negative I see with my Avast is the high impact startup time but I can live with that.
    I used to be a very strong advocate for McAfee until it became like Norton and so bloated.
    This is mostly FYI so don't bust my balls for using free stuff as that is everything I have other than
    the Windows 10 program. Actually it was free also upgrading from W7 to W10 and its stable as a rock.

    Have an error upgrading to Win 10, (error code 0x8007000d)

    So should I install KB3212646 & KB3210131?

    I uninstalled all my antivirus before I started the upgrade. It was Avast Free Antivirus 2017, AVG AntiVirus Free 2017. There was even some McAfee software. I don't remember what it was. No firewall.

    The IE was uninstalled a long time ago.

    There is Win 10 Upgrade Assistant installed.

    There's also Google Talk Plugin installed too.

    Feature update to windows 10, version 1607

    Malwarebytes is the free version, I thought id install it for added protection as I only had AVG Antivirus Free Edition

    For the record, AVG bought Avast, not the other way around.
    I used to uncheck linkscanner from install, but I see, it is mandatory now.
    You should uncheck junk modules afterwards, like linkscanner and email scanner.
    If you try Avast, you should use Minimal Setup and then do those things afterwards:
    Code: Disable Cyber Capture & Reputation Services & Sharing Personal Info / Enable PUP, Hardened & Silent Mode / Set popups to 1 sec[/quote]

    Guess what I read is bogus? Avast buys AVG for $1.3 billion. But no matter as they are now one. *Cool
