AntiVir Personal & Vista SP2

I installed SP2 yesterday via auto updates. After restart I got the message that Avgnt.exe is not compatible with this version of Windows.

I choose to run the program and all is well. I have never installed any betas and all is current.

The Security Center shows that Virus Protection reports that it is turned off.

Vista Home Premium SP2

AntiVir 8

Hi Jamin,

the problem, that the Security Center shows Virus Protection as off is an know problem if you use AntiVir Version 8 on Windows Vista SP2.

I reccomend you tu update your AntiVir to Version 9, which is availabe on http://www.free-av.de/de/download/download_servers.php
After installing Version 9, everything will work fine. (It does so with me too!)

I just got SP2 (it took about an hour to download and install and I'm on broadband) but it went without a hitch. I've gotten no error messages at all.

I wonder (totally off topic), how they decide when to send the update notices to whom? My friend normally gets the updates a few hours before I do (it's simply when our computers are started) and she didn't note it last night.

I just received an AntiVir product update that fixed the Security Center issue.

Build V8.2.0.353 a total of 12 files.

Does this mean that the compatibility issue is fixed? Since I choose to run the program and not show the message again, I can't tell.

I'm planing on upgrading to version 9 soon but would like to hold on to version 8 for a little while longer.

Thank you for your time and effort.

I think this fix will solve the conflict between the Windows Security center on SP2 and AntiVir Version 8.
