Comment on Windows 7 – Homegroups by Jeff

I was on the phone with Microsoft tech support for two hours today trying to get Homegroup working. Turns out AVG Free anti-virus software had written something to the registry that was blocking the network. Uninstalling AVG on both PCs, creating/joining the homegroup, then reinstalling AVG did the trick.

Outstanding! And without a teleprompter!

Yep, exited the Logitech QuickCam app tray program and update succeeded. Thanks!

Thunderbird was stuck in the update process for me too, until I closed Kaspersky Antivirus.

Quickcam.exe was the culprit in my case. Killed it, and the thunderbird update worked fine. Thanks!

Just to say thanks to all this has been getting on my nerves for weeks now but getting rid of the the Logitech in ctrl alt & Del worked for me.

Wow, I had not thought about the cameras and microphones. That is pretty scary. We watched a news segment showing everything you did on an infected machine being recorded to a remote machine. But this takes it another level.

Thanks for this… I had to kill quickcam as well. I guess this was the first update since I hooked the cam up…

I was hoping Sardaukar86’s fix would work, but my Quickcam program already had Outlook as it’s preferred email client. Yet Thunderbird still gives me this loop every time I try to upgrade it.

So I guess I’ll have to continue killing Quickcam.exe every upgrade…

Same as Tepp. That is the only thing that worked for me. Other solutions just would not do it.
So disable Kaspersky for a minute if you have this AV. It works.

Works fine in my case when I disable anti-virus software (Kaspersky).
