G'day all,
You might recall (after the shambles with active-X) that someone recommended
AVG Anti-virus for Windoze.
It was highly regarded by ZDNet, but upon downloading and installing it on
my windoze box, I was not impressed.
No dramas, just uninstall it if you're not happy, right?
Wrong, upon uninstalling it and (of course) having to restart the machine, i
found that ALL files in my 'Program files' folder (not the folders, just all
the files) had dissapeared. I can only presume that this was caused by a
VERY buggy uninstall routine.
None of my other drives on the machine were effected, only the 'E' drive, to
which I'd installed this dog.
I've sent a similiar email to the authors, but thought I'd just warn any
Win32 users of the "potential" for disaster. I was very lucky in that i dont
store any data files under program files.
Anyway, thats my bitch for the day.
Cam
