AVG Update problem.
The latest update wants a reboot-DO NOT REBOOT until you have downloaded new update. Crashes system-had it happen on XP, XP X64 and 7.

Thank the gods for Acronis True Image.

1. I have been getting the update notice. Should I uninstall the older
version first?

Thanks

2. It will update the previous version.

The crash was caused by an update to AVG 2011.

It appears that the problems are most prevalent in Windows 7 64-bit systems. This is because a wrong update file is being served into the product. We removed the update immediately after the problem was identified and will release a program to ensure that the fix is completed automatically as soon as possible.
