procedure question

To those who run AVG 7.5 I've got a procedure question.

After running the AVG updater, the process seems to stay loaded even after
clicking the 'OK' button after the update is successfully downloaded. Which
of the following should I perceive as the best way to manage this:

A. Leave the process running.

B. Kill the process with PView.

C. Reboot...,the one I've been doing.

Thanks.

Not sure if I understand your question. Doesn't AVG Control Centre run on
boot? If so why not leave it running in the background? (I understand it has
a small footprint) or do you mean the Update Window with the 30 second
countdown fails to close?

If the latter, can only suggest:

a. Reload AVG using the latest download.

b. Wait until the gurus can confirm if AVG is still compatible with ME
although www.grisoft.com/uk.product-avg-anti-virus-free-edition#tba3 says it
is! (at least until August)

Best of luck

Ok, let me see if I can't explain it better. Ok, once the countdown window
appears the 30 seconds tick down and then the countdown ends and I'm left
with an 'OK' button. I click it and the window disappears. Now If I were
to open PView to see the list of processes currently running the AVG updater
will still be running.

Hope that clears up things. Sorry I wasn't clearer the first time.

Understand your question now.

Sorry, I am unable to make any constructive suggestion. Can only repeat:-

a. Reload AVG using the latest download.

b. Wait until the gurus can confirm if AVG is still compatible with ME
although www.grisoft.com/uk.product-avg-anti-virus-free-edition#tba3 says it

The free version of AVG is running on my WinME OK but without going to
switch that machine on I don't know what version it is at the moment.

On another NG the following advice was given, seemingly pertaining to your
very question:

Download the latest version. Disconnect from the net. Uninstall the
old version. Install the new version. Reconnect to the net. Use the
check for updates, to update the virus definitions.
