I have a friend who downloaded AVG Antivirus and as she was installing it, a pop up window came up and said in order to continue with the install she needed to update Roxio CD Creator. This makes no sense to me, so I am turning to Yahoo Answers for input. Why would an antivirus program require a cd creator/copy program to help run it? A virus within Roxio? Should she uninstall both and then reinstall AVG? Or is this something not even to worry about? She is deaf so she has no use for a cd creator/copier program, this program was already on there when she got the computer from me, it came preinstalled in the laptop.

Roxio and AVG have for years had conflicts.
Is there a reason to HAVE to update Roxio in order to get AVG installed, no not really, but you need to anyway.
Update the Roxio files, then install AVG. If that doesn't work, let me know, there are other ways to 'skin that cat'.

AVG does not require Roxio. However, it's possible the version of Roxio on her PC is old, and therefore incompatible with that version of Roxio. I'd recommend uninstalling Roxio, and if she needs to create CDs, download one of the free programs from the link below to do so:

Some Programs are not compatible with ZA, you need to follow its advice if you want it installed.
