Re: AVG updates grant full control to Everyone, changes owner?

Hmmm...well, I got the same thing on an MCE 2005 test install (with no subsequent OS/security updates) -- at least in terms of changing the security descriptors on those files (the .avg update files were also changed to be equally permissive).

(This is with the free edition, version 7.1.375a716.)

Unfortunately, some part of AVG also crashed and it began flagging some of its own files and some OS files as being infected. Going to have to retry now from the top to see if that was a transient.
