    AVG and Wondows Updates trouble


    Hello,
    I have set up a laptop for someone with very limited knowledge or understanding of system security.

    I have set the windows 7 updates to automatic, however it appears that AVG is preventing successful installations. Can I write a batch file to run at shutdown to temp disable AVG so when the updates?

    I haven't access to this laptop to test it out, was thinking would the script run before windows atttempts to run any updates?

    If so what commands could I use in the script?

    is it task kill or something? many thanks in advance.

    I no security expert but if it was my computer I would remove AVG using there online removal tool and install Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Then I would run sfc /scannow as per tutorial.

    I would agree any security suite which blocks windows updates is whacky and needs to be removed asap,

    IMHO, AVG is closer to a virus than a anti-virus. Dump AVG and install MSE. MSE well free up resources and run much smoother.
