Re: C:\$Secure corrupt error message



If it's AVG 8, don't bet that wasn't the cause of the issue. There have been numerous posts on AVG 8 wreaking havoc with updates.
Then again, we don't know if there are remnants of 'another' AV that remained on the system after it was supposed to have been uninstalled.
Norton is *notorious* for doing just that.

Sorry for the kryptic message....WinXP Pro SP3, IE7, AVG, No Norton installed. This system was working fine then the pop ups started. I found a post from back in 2005 that said the computers power supply may be causing this issue, so still looking for answers.
