AVG Anti-Virus 8 for WinXP

Update 9 Jul 2008, Wed
A scheduled scan found 15 infections (Win32/Alman) all in the hidden system folder_System Volume Information on my data drive. Where did they come from?

Update 2 Jul 2008, Wed
The anti-virus was successfully installed after a clean installation of WinXP with WinXPsp3 patch. A professional clean-cut looking interface


All infections were found on the data partition drive, under folder_Recycler and folder_System Volume Information. Seem a plus point for AVG as not all anti-virus software does scanning into hidden system folders.

Today 29 Jun 2008, Sun
The free anti-virus software AVG Anti-Virus 8 failed to install on WinXP sp2.
