After spending 7-8 hours reading, asking questions, and trying to contact avg tech support I am about to risk taking my computer to the idiots at bestbuy.
If anyone can help with this...you are a god : ]
I use windows xp sp2 and I will just inform you of what I have done to try to solve the problem so far. I had the avg trial and then the avg miniport 2 driver corrupted. I tried deleting it and it said it might be needed for system boot so it wouldnt let me delete it. I also tried uninstalling/installing avg as well as pinging the ip addresss.
