AVG 2011 might stop your PC from booting

I’m not sure how many people are still rocking their PC with no antivirus installed. Well, in my case, antivirus is really just to provide you with some confidence to browse the net, and as an act of precautions. Many users have AVG and Avira free edition installed in their PC, unless your system comes preloaded with some other Antivirus, like how Dell gives 15-month McAfee for free in their new computers.

This morning, many users faced a huge problem after updating their free copy of AVG 2011. As some users have claimed on the World Wide Web, they can’t boot their computers after the update. Users running 64-bit editions of Windows 7 and AVG 2011 are reporting a STOP error after a mandatory antivirus update this morning, which is keeping some from booting their machines into Windows at all. The buggy update has since been pulled and there are a couple ways to pre-emptively keep it from happening if you’re staring at the message above, but if you’ve already been stung, you’re looking at some quality time with a recovery disc or repair partition to fix your Windows boot files. Good luck!
