Looks like they added the info for Vista too.

This article would have bee much more helpful if the directory structure for Vista had been described rather than the directory structure for XP. The ctf files existed in: c:\ProgramData\avg8\update\download ... at least on my Vista laptop. Marj Wyatt Skype: marjwyatt
