Bioshock + AVG Free edition

Heres another tale to add to the bisohock drama.

I run AVG free (virus guard) on vista 64 bit and guess what, AVG just detected bioshock.exe as an obfustat virus and moved it to the vault. NOW I CANT PLAY BIOSHOCK!

After restoring the file etc etc .... vista tells me i dont have permission to run the file, tried all the usual (run as admin, change actual permission for folder and file) and cant get it to run.

So anyone who buys bioshock should consider removing AVG first!

Makes me kinda glad I just said, "Sod it" and got it for my newly replaced 360… shame the console will stop working again but I should long be finished the game by then. Oh as far as the game is concerned it is not too bad, got a bit bored with it now though but that is to kind of be expected once you get over the wow effect of the game.

Bumping this, 'cause my friend needs a solution.

She hit heal with AVG (unfortunately, "heal" with AVG means "Destroy all things related to this object" ).

She's running Vista and has already tried uninstalling and re-installing twice (I'm a little bit worried about the DRM and SecuROM flipping a ****).

Any links to fixes are appreciated.

~T3h DRAY!

You don't need to delete AVG (it's actually more the fault of AVG than Bioshock for detecting a virus where none is).

Launch AVG control center and double click on resident shield. Unmark the "Turn on Resident Shield" and click on APPLY. Then you can start Bioshock.

After playing, just re-enable it to be safe.

This happened to me with the demo and the next day an AVG update that was not an automatic download as usual fixed the problem, so try manually updating AVG (if you haven't already done this) if you are still running into the problem and it may be fixed.

Best,
