Hello Alison. When you receive this message as "Watchdog" then it means you are using an antivirus program already in your computer. So I recommend you to uninstall the previous antivirus program and then install the AVG antivirus program. Please feel free to contact us should you need any further assistance.
Hi, have just downloaded free security, but got an error message…'Waiting for Watchdog Service start failed', it then says to go online to learn more, but when I click link, there is nothing there… not sure what to do next as no other options in message
