John, if in fact this came in through AVG. wouldn't they have something on
their website? So far they don't.
I copied your instructions. I am to rename the 2 files AVGCLEAN.SYS to
AVGCLEAN.SY_ AND AVGRSXP.SYS TO AVGRSXP.SY_. It says to launch registry
editor (regedit.exe) does this launch from safe mode? or?
