Crazy not yet had this issue with any of the PC's I run AVG on, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
Cheers for the heads up.
PS You got a link to the fix?

Interesting...

I've had a few dll file problems lately with AVG, don't know if this was one of them though. Thanks for bringing this up!

It's not trolling its sourcing and its what you should always do. Giving credit is whats right. anyways i havent had any issues either but i dont scan very often. I dont usually get viruses.
