   Isnt it a bit irresponsible to mention this with no
   comment as to any patch/workaround/fix ??
   Yes, it does prevent some future systems from breaking, but even if there’s no known fix, why not address that issue????

   Jon, the link to the fix provided by AVG is available at the page to which I have linked. They have issued separate fix for versions 7.5 and 8.0. Anyway I will also provide the link below:
