downloaded AVG and it shows up in "my documents" but it will not open. aj.

where did you download this from, what type of file is it?

I downloaded AVG from Cnet.com aj.

Perhaps the download was not complete. Do you have two icons there that relate to AVG?

Try it again: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com (http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html)

Personally I use this one: Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com (http://www.download.com/Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10322935.html?tag=mncol)

while having AVG is better than nothing, it is a weak antivirus and there are many better ones out there.

There are a few possibilities. First, reboot and try to open it. If that fails, redownload and try to open it. The original download may have been corrupt. If that also fails, you may have a virus that is preventing it from opening properly.

To get around this problem, download Avira AntiVir Rescue System CD, and burn it to a CD (the software to do this is included in the download). Reboot the computer to run this disk, and it will remove the virus bot that is preventing AVG from opening.

Avira AntiVir is a much better virus program than AVG, and is free.

Unfortunately, you will always be most secure with paid antivirus software :(

Go to some secure sites and download from their and try to install again.
