CAUTION! AVG Update 3292 Will Brick Your W7 x64 Computer!
Don't Reboot, whatever you do!
The latest AVG update (3292) will render your Windows 7 x64 computer unusable. This is because it identifies a key Windows process as being as virus, quarantines and deletes it because of a programming update error in the AVG Update.
How to fix your system:
AVG has published a “How To Fix” (which shouldn't have happened in the first place).
This is a reproduction of the fix as a screenshot. For the actual links, please use this External Link.

You're right, sir 
. I used Acronis before, too many bugs in new versions, too many features I don't need.

Its rather unique. Having a tiny device in my pocket that's bootable. Makes for an excellent tool.
BTW: I just noticed that in my start menu there's a new addition called Bootable Media Builder. Guess it came from that link for the rescue cd from AVG.

And that is a very wise move, vwaldbrunn. I use Acronis, very much the same way.
Better to have no regrets.
