Ooops, I think I may have figured out this problem. I was trying to run "setup.exe' before I had unzipped the folder. I was just viewing it's contents apparently. My bad, it's late sorry.
I am now running the repair USB on the ASUS laptop as I type...we'll see if it fixes the issue.
As already so often in the past, AVG seems to have more trouble:
AVG Free - FAQ - System crash after the recent AVG 2011 update 3292 (BSOD)
Another reason to use MSE
In a matter of fairness -
AVG is NOT unique & the only one who has had an update problem..
Not every 64-bit system running AVG "suffered a glitch."
The sky hasn't fallen in!
The hysteria is somewhat exaggerated.
Bad news makes for good news in the media... Today AVG - tomorrow ? or ?.....
[I do run AVG on 3 laptops with Vista 64-bit & Win 7 64-bit- all updated / no problems]

JMH, you are lucky. We were running 6 triple booted systems in our computer club with AVG. They got so heavily infected (from members bringing in USB sticks) that it took 3 people 1 week to get them back in shape. We are now using MSE. I opted for NIS2011 but they did not want to spend the money.
Hmmm, seems I saw this posted, and discussed, two days ago.
Well said, JMH, agreed. :)
For those of you still using AVG Free, you might like to investigate:-
AVG Free 2011 update pulled, crashing Windows 7 systems - TechSpot News
OR you could just dump AVG and use MSE instead!!
Good point JMH....mistakes happen. What's the next AV that's going to have a fail? Time will tell. Unfortunately...it will happen again
