Yep. You did write "avast". For some reason, I read it as AVG. Sorry!
As it is, it doesn't make much difference. Kaspersky doesn't provide the a/v kernel for either of those two, though they do license it to many other a/v a/s companies according to wiki.
Ahhhh, ok, thanks for the explanation lordbob.
Yeah, I have been procrastinating & dreading this change for about 2 or 3 weeks. I also need to go from Vista to XP as there are some issues with Vista. In no so simple terms Vista + Wifey = No love for AstaLaVista
The issues are more impediments than anything else. I have an old Umax Astra Firewire scanner that Vista just doesn't want to support (or rather the other way around), the scanner works beautifully and it is super fast. I also can't install a small printer she uses to print photos, this last one is more because I don't want to spend on cartridge than driver/software issue but still, XP didn't have a single hiccup installing it.
Also, since I only use Win 7 myself now, there is no need for me to have Vista as a Second x64 OS, XP does what I want, the wife is happy, the home network is also happy (kids PCs are on XP)... as well
Thanks for lending me a hand though, I really appreciate it.
Sorry to comeback to this post after so much time has passed but, even now with the new RTM copy of Win 7 Ultimate 64, the annoying message is still there.
Something tells me that I am going to have to install the Full Retail version of Windows 7 to see if it goes away but it boggles the mind as to why a clean Win 7 install keeps giving me the same message. I only have Avast & Malwarebytes installed. I even disabled Windows Defender so it wouldn't conflict with Avast.
It may very well be an application I run that does this but I can't put my finger on it, less so now that I barely have apps installed.
Aside from this little nag and the gateway disconnect from time to time, I really love this OS but it is getting the better of me. :)
Well, I am happy to announce that the issue has been solved. It turned out to be one of the applications I use, for some reason, it uses the file and somehow, win 7 confuses it with kasperski.
Sorry for the hassle you guys.
