Cannot connect on Windows 7, Vista working fine

Hi Envy,
your comment my av dissappeared is rather odd, programmes do not dissappear, they are uninstalled, usually by the owner, however if someone has managed to get remote access to your comp then they can remove them, and change passwords.

i would suggest you move this thread to the malware sub forum, and check to see if enable remote access is check marked or not...

Ok, you didn't mention the A/V's before and they can be highly problematic.

You definitely need to uninstall AVG and BullGuard using the special uninstall tool.

There is no way to work around problems caused by these so called anti virus software's, they cause countless connection problems and this has been proven over and over again right here on this forum. :)

Hey,

So I tried using the AVG tool to uninstall it but my system keeps crashing as soon after running the program. I dont get a BSOD screen it just gets all.. hmm hard to explain... it shows horizontal lines with random colours... if that makes sense...AVG appears in the Uninstall or Change a program but nothing appears when I double click it to open it. So I am really not too sure what to do about it now. Any ideas?

Hmm I dont think someone managed to get remote access to the computer but I guess there is no way to tell is there? Its strange cause AVG seems to still be installed its just that I cannot open or uninstall it no matter what I try.

Hi Envy
concensus of opion in this forum would be to use REVO unistaller if all else fails.

running 2 A/Vs causes to many problems.

regarding the incorrect password to be on the safe side take my suggestion re the security subforum,
better safe than sorry

It's nice to see that you agree with MY assessment of the problem torchwood.

In fact, running ANY third party A/V's causes too many problems, we see the problems they create on a daily basis around here.

The hard part is convincing people that their beloved A/V software is the source of all their problems.

I think it's pretty obvious that the disappearing A/V is the problem here.

You are welcome for the diagnoses. :)

Ok thanks guys, really appreciate the help. I will create a new topic in the security subform and hopefully someone will help me figure this damn annoying problem out.
