Problem with AVG 2011 (free edition)???!!!?
-
Ok, so an update came on my comp asking me to update to AVG 2011 and so I updated it. Then like two days later (after I used my comp just fine the night before), these error boxes came up on my screen everytime I clicked on something on my computer. They even come up as soon as I turn on my computer (after windows loads). They have a different ".exe" title on the top left corner, but mostly say: "C:\Windows\system32\AVGRSS.DLL is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system sdministrator or the software vendor for support." I already tried to uninstall it and re-install it to see if that would work, but after it didn't work I uninstalled it again. Now I am currently without anti-virus protection while on the comp and those annoying boxes STILL keep popping up. Also my comp is much slower. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Answer:
I would say you first of all scan your system with any good system cleaner such as Reginout to clean your system of excessive data that gives errors and cause slowdown. Also, uninstall unnecessary programs. I hope your problem will be solved. Few more steps will also help you: 1. Make Sure Your Hardware is Sufficient: Above and beyond everything you can do with software to optimize the function of your computer, making sure you have the proper hardware to support Windows is critical. 2. Clean Your Desktop: Is your Windows Desktop dotted with files? Have you noticed that your computer has been running slower and slower? Do you see the hard drive light often flashing while you wait for the computer to respond to an action? There are steps you can take to fix it. Read this article. 3. Scan Your Windows System for Errors: An operating system is a collection of files that perform different functions. It is possible, over time, that one or more of these system files has changed or become corrupted. If this happens, the speed of your system may decrease. By using a utility called “System File Checking”, it will inspect these files and correct any problem it finds. 4. Scan for Viruses, Spyware and Adware: Every Windows computer is vulnerable to viruses. Viruses are nasty little programs that cause both major and minor problems for users. Spyware and Adware are programs created by companies to find out more information about customers, so they can better market products to them. Spyware and Adware can load into computer memory and slow it down.Periodically scanning and removal of Viruses, Spyware and Adware is a great way to improve computer performance. 5. Uninstall Unused Programs: Over time, you may have accumulated programs on your computer that you do not use. When a program is installed, it creates connections between the program and the operating system. Even if you don’t use these programs, they can slow down your system. If you have the original program’s installation disk or file, removing programs will free up space on your computer and may speed up your system's performance. 6. Adjust Visual Effects for Better Performance: Windows provides a number of interesting visual effects including animated windows and fading menus. If you do not have enough operating memory (see above number 1), these effects can slow down your computer. Adjusting or reducing visual effects can make a difference. 7. Don’t Automatically Start Programs: Programs use operating memory (RAM, also called system resources). Unless you always use these programs, you can keep them from loading at Windows startup and speed both the booting of your computer and its performance. Manage startup programs using reginout. 8. Defragment Your Hard Drive: The more information and programs you have on your computer, the more it is likely that Windows has placed parts of the same file in different locations on your hard drive. It may do this for hundreds of files and programs, depending on how much space is available. Defragmenting the hard drive places all information for each file in one place. The result can be a faster computer experience

Hi there , Programs generally remove files but not registry entries upon uninstallation. Such can be fixed using good registry cleaner like RegInOut .If your system is missing a windows dll then you might have to repair your installation after fixing the previous registry entry of that dll using RegInOut.
