Title: AirNav, Win7Pro and AVG again
Post by: N9JIG on May 11, 2010, 02:20:42 AM: OK, I have read the forum posts that say to add an exception in AVG for AirNav to avoid the "AVG Anti-Virus is running on your computer." message and required clicking thru the dialog boxes. I have the exception in AVG, but I still get the message every time I run it. This trick worked fine when I was running VistaHP, but now under Win7P it doesn't.

My computer is an HP e9180 running Windows 7Pro (64 Bit) with 9GB RAM and an i7 chip.
AirNav is v3.12, and the box has a firmware of 02.03.1.
AVG is v9.0819 (Free version)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try 'whilst offline' starting AirNav with AVG turned off. Once AirNav is running, restart the AVG program. I had the same problem and that's how I got around it with my new Win7 laptop and it's works a treat.

Best of luck,

Cheers Dave.

I removed AVG and installed MSE, all seems well at the moment on that regard.

Thanks!

No matter what I did I could not get it to play nice with AVG. Once I removed AVG and installed MSIE it worked fine. I also noticed that the MSIE seemed to pay better in other regards, it was less intrusive, especially during the first few minutes after start-up when AVG seems to use a lot of resources.

I also changed to MS Security Essentials on all our PC's and laptops and it runs nice on all Windows OS that we have in the house.
