E-Fishin-C Posted January 6, 2010 #1 Posted January 6, 2010 A Thank you goes out to all you gave their expertise opinion in trying to solve my computer problem After a case a beer and 7 hours my friend finally fixed it ( alternatre route) This all started when I update AVG 9.0 Free anti virus and it corrupted the Linksys wireless Thank you to all:clap2:
autopilot Posted January 6, 2010 #2 Posted January 6, 2010 I suspect it was the heuristic virus hunting of AVG that torpedoed the linksys drivers. Once it thinks it sees a virus (or a potential virus), it will apply whatever the default instruction is which is usually to negate & quarantine the offending file. Any anti-virus using heuristics can have this same problem, so don't feel too bad about it. You could've had an actual virus that pranged the boot sector of the hard drive...then you really would have been screwed. At least you got to drink some beers with a buddy...
