With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How do I install AVG anti-virus without losing protection when downloading installation files?

Asked by hermesalpha in AVG, Security Utilities, Internet Security

I have tried to install AVG anti-virus on my Windows XP SP3 32-bit.

First, I felt unsecure when I had uninstalled my previous anti-virus and begun to install AVG, because AVG wanted to connect to internet to download the installation files. This takes a long time, and I think I have no protection during this time. So I reinstalled my previous anti-virus and switched it on during the download of AVG installation files.

After that, I uninstalled my previous anti-virus (Eset Smart Security) and begun to install AVG. I couldn't restart my laptop after uninstalling Eset Smart Security (as prompted by the uninstallation wizard) because if I had restarted my laptop, I would have had to download the AVG installation files again (unprotected against viruses).

So I went through the AVG installation wizard and everything seemed fine. But when I finished installation, I received this warning:

"Action failed for registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Component Categories\{56FFCC30-D398-11DO-B2AE-00A0C908FA49}-1:409: creating registry value....Error 0x800703fa"

However, the dialogue box immediately after said that "Congratulations! AVG has been successfully installed on your computer." I wasn't sure about this whether it had been successfully installed or not, so I uninstalled AVG and now use Eset Smart Security until I know how to install AVG.

So the problem is that I can't restart my laptop after uninstalling Eset Smart Security. Instead, as soon as I have uninstalled Eset Smart Security, I need to immediately install AVG with the downloaded installation files. If I would restart the machine after uninstalling Eset Smart Security, I would need to download the AVG installation files from internet unprotected against viruses.
