error while unpacking program code 2. please report to author.
Reinstall your anti-virus program. It happens when you perform Microsfot update. Remove antivirus from add/remove programs. Go to antivirus web site (scuh as pctool.com etc) and download latest antivirus and install. You will see the error is gone. Hope this help.
this is due to virus or malware. it is possible that it is present in hard disk. whenever you tries to open the file, at that time the virus get activated and creats error.........for this you need to install the latest updated antivirus. but some antivirus are worthless. so i recommend you to use quickheal antivirus and scan the hard disk
open services.msc from run window and then find avgwdsvc.exe. right click and select properties then check the disabled checkbox. Apply and get out of services.msc. now try to install the new version of avg.
If u have an old antivirus, uninstal it first before instaling the new one.
If you dont have an old antivirus, which antivirus program are you trying to instal? what happens when u trying to instal it? where in the process stops the instalation?
This is simply a bad download. You will need to start by completely removing the failed install, otherwise you're going to run into it all over again. Now, did you save the down load or just run it straight from the net? If it was a straight run, you may have encountered a slight internet glitch during the run. What you want to do is save the download to the desktop, then right click on it and run as administrator. It should install properly this way. Another thing is make sure that you don't have any other Antivirus, spyware, or adware programs on the machine. If you do, you will need to remove them, AVG covers them all. The reason you want to remove them is because they perceives the AVG as a threat, especially other Antivirus programs, not a harmful threat, but a competitor threat, and will stop the download or install. Antivirus companies, especially Norton, doesn't like to lose their customers, so they throw in these little blocking programs, in hopes that it will detour you from going to another.
this is either due to bad installation, you could ask the store where you bought your pc to reinstall the antivirus. Or due to strong virus which took control from pc-cillin and this situation is common, for this you can download another antivirus like avira from http://www.free-av.com/ install it, scan your pc thendisable it and go back to your pc-cillin.
