Mike, what happened to your version of AVG is a testament to the
collective power of Window-eyes users. Several WE customers
simultaneously hoping and perhaps praying for a good outcome have
successfully influenced your anti-virus software to behave in the proper
manner. The GW folks don't talk about this phenomenon in the Window-Eyes
manual because it is not yet scientifically proven. Take my word for it,
though.
having said this, I will grudgingly admit that there have been times
when my AVG software has required a computer restart to complete the
installation of a new version.

Good morning Craig, Natalie, Nick, John, Robert, and all other fellow
Window-eyes users:
Well, I got a big surprise, when I booted up Windows xp pro this
morning. I was atempting to open AVG, and empty the virus vault. But
before I could hit enter on the icon, I found that somehow, the name
of the icon had changed. Instead of AVG Free 8.0, I saw AVG Free 8.5.
The thing is, I hadn't even downloaded and installed the upgrade yet.
When I went to the virus vault, I found, that it was empty. How could
this be? The last thingI remember doing yesterday, was responding to a
message I had gotten from AVG, stating that I was to restart my
computer. It didn't explain why, it just said, "AVG restart computer
request." I did the restart, and when I opened internet explorer, I
got another message, that said, that my AVG toolbar was successfully
updated. It didn't say anything about upgrading to version 8.5. Have
any of you ever experienced anything like that? It appears to me, that
AVG may have upgraded all by itself without me having to do anything.
I'm wondering, if that restart request I got yesterday had anything to
do with it. So I guess what I'm asking now, is as a result of this
mysterious turn of events, is it safe for me to go on and use my pc
like normal?
