Yeah, the sample is too small, I think it's OK. If there is a problem they will include a patch with the signature updates.

i am a system builder for 8 years, and i love the free avg. i have installed it on at least 500 pc's, never had a prob with version 8. I do think 8 is BLOATED, but it has yet to crash one of mine

I went ahead with the update from 7.5 to 8 on my XP Home Prem-32 last night, no problems whatsoever. During the upgrade it asks you if you want to allow it to track your WWW activity, all you have to do is clear the checkbox and move on, problem solved.

O and Avast = big piles of poopy in my book. It works yea, but the interface belongs on an SNES...

@OP: With the general reports that AVG 8 works; it looks like the problems could be caused with software + driver incompatibilities.

i build 2-6 systems a month and i have done so for 4-5 years, the sample is small. When i get 3 people with issues like this then there is something worng.

its possible its been correct

with 3 samples, it is possible all three made mistakes - but i talked with them.


THEORY 2:
I build onlu oc systems - every computer i ship is overclocked. Low end systems are locked high i.e. 2ghz chips are clocked to 3ghz+, while 2.66 chips may be only clocked to 3.4ghz

its possible the oc has something to do with it?


NOW FOR SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFETNtT

i have been push ram for decades - well my favioate ddr2 micro d9 chips in mushkin ddr800 4-4--3-10 have been failing in large numbers

i push the ddr800 chips at 4-4-3-10 at ddr800 to 900-950mhz at 2-2.05v

these miron dimms are failing left and right, lots of them

we typically set ddr920-950 to 4-4-3-10 at 2.05v, with q6600 and E6759 and e6600
