as fas as i can remember i did install it as an admin, but i'll try again...

but the reason i want it to run as a service is that when you have 2 administrator accounts and one of them has restricted access to some files, the other one can't read them...
unless... he runs explorer.exe as system, then the other admin has all the rights, even more then a normal admin.... that's why i want it to run as system...

Could u post here event log related messages about AVG startup?
i'll see what i can do, since i don't have internet at home yet, i'll have to copy it to a file first and then take it with me to my work....


but i'll give it a try and reinstall again, perhaps my problem is solved then... we'll see.... i'll let you guys know asap....
