. hi, while i was trying to download avg a box popped up saying ERROR:action faied for registry key. HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWSNT\CURRENT VERSION\WINDOWS:creating registry key.
ERROR:0x80070005
i dont have any problem downloading other antivirus tools, just avg. any help would be appreciated. i am trying to learn as i go so i am not experienced at all on the computer.

What is the download source? what website.

Downloading?, not installing?

i still couldnt get anywhere so i downloaded avg 7.5. that downloaded without any problems. i am running a scan and then i will try to upgrade to 8.0. i'll let you know if it works

I like 7.5 better than 8.0, less bloatware.

i tried to download avg8.0 again but i get the same error message. i guess i will either keep avg 7.5 or go back to avira. i like avira but for some reason when i am in this forum site with avira installed my computer is somewhat slower than with avg or avast. i also like avas but avast blocks emails from my outlook express to my hotmail.

I always turn off email scanning on any AV software.
