    Computer won't connect to the internet after downloading AVG 8.0
    « on: September 25, 2008, 02:09:41 PM »
    I signed up for 2 computers, it's working fine on one computer but not on the second one. I can't connect to the internet or update AVG (because I'm not connected to the net). If I uninstall AVG I can connect, if I reinstall it I can't....Oh and did I mention that AVG's tech support SUXS........Can anyone help?
    Using XP on both computers....

      I understand, however I loved the AVG free version, and since I have already paid for a years subscription I would like to try and get my moneys worth. Any ideas on how to fix this problem. I've turned the firewall off on my computer and AVG and it still won't connect, there has to be a conflict somewhere, but I don't know how to find it.......HELP.. ;D

        has AVG blocked access to any ports? port 80 (i think) is typically the ...... default internet port one might say.

        I'd contact AVG, and ask them to fix your problem, or refund your money.
        BTW, I used AVG for number of years, but when version 8.0 came out, and I experienced number of problems myself, I quit.
