[paul26982]

just installed avg anti virus

right restarted my computer and it says, it could be expired but doesnt run out till 2112 lol

it says in the secruity centre some anti virus's arnt detected, so is it ok

also when you click monitor it yourself, is that right (if it hasnt detected it)

is my firewall working etc

Odd. When I installed SP2 for XP the security centre thingy picked up on AVG straight away.

Mine picks it up straight away too - again, XP SP2 with AVG 7.1.405

If Windows isn't seeing your anti-virus, I'd advise against ignoring it. Can't help you with fixing it, I'm afraid, because I've no experience of that problem.

Try telling AVG to download the latest updates, in case the install you have is slightly out of date and the virus definitions are old.

Oh, and set it to update itself automatically.

Mail AVG Tech support; I find them very good.

I had an issue with my AVG 7 Professional which turned out to be due to incorrect setting of the XP Firewall. It stopped the e mail scanner working correctly. Now OK
