Arnold Markowitz transfer existing account to a new computer
My old computer died. I had new AVG subscriptions installed in it. I need to transfer those to this new computer.
Best Answer chosen by Arnold MarkowitzArnold MarkowitzI also believe I have redundant subscriptions because of recent changes in second hand computers that failed. I should have accounts for only one PC and my cell phone.

Michael Nolet Probem after using AVG PC Tuner
I ran AVG PC Tuner and was no longer able to us my Windows Updater. When I tried to download updates, I got a notice that a virus called IDP.HELU.MSHTAR4 was in my c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe and that the threat was removed. I then got a flag indicating that I needed to update drivers. As I was unable to download updates or drivers, I purchased AVG Driver Updater. I ran a driver scan but the program freezes when checking for windows updates. Then I got the blue screen of death.
I tried deleting the AVG PC Tuner and Driver updater but nothing has changed. I also tried shutting off the AVG Firewall and Anti virus, but still get the same problem.
Other than wiping out the hard drive and reloading everything, can you direct me on how to fix this problem.

Ron Newfield Without AVGARDISK, Windows won't boot!
Having established that when the AVG disk driver avgsrdisk.sys is installed, Windows 7 WEI fails consistently, I have found a much worse problem :-
If avgsrdisk.sys is removed, renamed or corrupted, then Windows will not boot at all, not even in safe mode!
You can't boot at all using any of the safe mode options, forcing a Windows re-install.
This is a very important issue for an anti-virus program - If something gets onto your system somehow and just renames avgsrdisk.sys, then your system becomes un-bootable.
The only way round this without a complete Windows re-install is to get into Dos mode via the Windows recovery disk (If you have one) and re-instate avgsrdisk.sys from a backup.
This is a serious security problem.

Best Answer chosen by Ron NewfieldRon NewfieldThey are not going to fix this.
This was first reported over 6 months ago and they say they can't even reproduce the problem, despite many people reporting the same problem on various operating systems.
All they need to do is delete or rename avgsrdisk.sys and EVERY version of Windows will fail to load, even into safe mode.
If anyone is doing a complete re-install of Windows for any reason, then just delete or rename avgsrdisk.sys and see how far a reboot gets.
Report the failures to this thread and maybe they will get their engineers to look at it properly.
I am afraid that the ONLY fix for this is to do a complete re-install of Windows.
