Security Alert Icon??
Hi there
For some strange reason i have a Microsoft Security Alert icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, reporting that AVG is turned off or not updated. However, I have the most recent AVG updates and it is working properly, so why is the Security Alert Icon still there?? Any thoughts on this??
Thanks in advance

I have had this too. When the message appears asking you to click this balloon to fix this problem, do so and the security centre should appear. Simply select the option I have an anti virus program I will monitor myself.
This should help. However if it still reoccurs I would suggest downloading the latest install file from AVG and install that.
Hope this helps
Hi I just solved this myself...
Problem wouldn't go away with AVG - In fact - AVG dissapered, maybe it got embarressed and did a runner who knows...
Anyway, if you can still access the net (and have a legit copy of XP) download SP 2, using auto update will help if not "registered" if you manage this it should do the trick.
If not, try to install eTrust� EZ Antivirus 2005 - they do a 12 month free trial. As an example, Before AVG (whom I previously thought were pretty good) ran away, I ran virus test and got an all clear.. Upon performing an in depth scan with eTrust I was diagnosed as having upwards of 200 virus/malware instances, frightening as further research indicated alot of this was keyloggers :( thank god one of the ******* stopped me going onto ebay ;)
