Hey there people, every time i double click on my avg antivirus to open it up it comes out with a message reading: "c\program files\avg8\avgul.exe"
" The application has failed to start because the application configeration is incorrect." I have never struck this before and have no control over my antivirus, so what do i do to fix it. My antivirus is the free edition which i downloaded of the net and has been reinstalled to try and fix the problem but hasn't worked. Any help would be well appreciated. Regards Grassy

Uninstall AVG....try Avira Free Personal, http://www.free-av.com/.

Some of the latest (last couple of years) versions of AVG have been irritating for some users.
