Free AV from AOL

From: Art on 14 Aug 2006 13:16 I promised to post about any problems I run into with AVS. I just ran into a real beaut. I had installed it on my wife's Win ME machine where our wireless router and modem reside. No internet access, yet my machine in a different room with the wireless adapter card had access. I couldn't access the router via 198.168.1.1 from either machine. Her system eventually put up a error message concerning a conflict between the router address and a hardware number ... and annnounced that something or other was now disabled. I didn't have a clue about how to fix the problem, so I threw up my hands and uninstalled AVS from her PC. Problem gone!!! I looked at Kaspersky's version 6 specs and saw that indeed Win 98 and Win ME are included. I can't say if the incompatibility/bug is OS or LinkSys related. I'm not inclined to install Kaspersky version 6 on her machine just to find out if that works and AVS doesn't... though I have to say the question does make curious. You'd think if one doesn't work, neither would work ... but you never know. So I can't say for sure that the problem is just with AVS ... it might be a KAV v6 problem. Of course, I've run v6 on my machine with no problems, just as I see no problems on my machine (Win 2K Pro) using AVS. Art http://home.epix.net/~artnpeg
