stephen blaine when I boot up, an AVG file folder pops up
Whenever I boot up (XP PRO), a Windows Explorer file folder opens.
The path is C:\Documents and Settings\MyUsername\Application Data\AVG
Sometimes "AV' is inside the window, sometimes "AVG"
This started after I accepted a the green AVG Update pop up. It said Your AVG needs to be
updated.
How can I stop this? Thanks
