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

Hi RedXII1234,
I'm not comfortable going into safe mode to look at those permissions, but I have AVG7.1 free on my daughter's computer and one time, in a limited account, I tried to delete a WMF test item from the vault, and I wasn't able to. I also tried to change the results of a scan to accept an item "changed", and I couldn't do that either. Based on that I didn't think the limited user had rights. When I tried to make one of those changes I got this error in the Event Viewer:

Source: AVG
Category: error
Event ID # 100
AVG7.CC plugins.CPluginManager action running failed. Error 0x80004004.

Is there a way for you to get this information to Grisoft? I don't think he visits the AVG forum.

Sincerely, Libra

In a command prompt: cacls <filenameordirectory>

I am probably falling on deaf ears unless I were a paying customer... In the mean time, thinking about all those other AVG users who even if they are limited users have absolutely no idea...

I don't think I can do cacls on XP Home (but I haven't tried).

Should we be changing to a different AV?
