SHA-2 code signing

Nope.  Instead, I installed your competitors AV.  That's a shame, but I guess that is what AVG wants.  Thanks for a couple degrades, but everything comes to an end.   Bye.

Hi Ed, 

We're glad to clarify this for you.
The latest version of AVG Internet Security 22.12 can't be installed on computers with the Win7x86 without the KB4474419 update. 
If you required, you can follow the steps in this article to download the required update & then proceed with the installation process.

I have no problems on my current win7pro laptop.  My just purchase laptop won't install AVG without MS update KB4474419, SHA-2 code signingSHA-2 code signing.  I don't use windows update.  I think if anybody trusts MS for security is making a mistake.  I use a number of softwares for computer security and a few common sense things too.  In 30 years of building and piecing computers and laptops together, my computers have never been hacked or infected with anything.  Why is AVG making us update windows?  I've seen some of the posts about older versions of AVG, but they won't install.

Hello Ed, 

We have received your feedback about AVG products. We will forward it to concerned team to improve it. Thank you.

On the page you linked to, is says you have to get the very update on the ms website, download and install it.

Nope, I'm not doing that.

Thank you for writing us back, Ed.
As we already informed you above the latest version of AVG Internet Security 22.12 can't be installed on computers with the Win7x86 without the KB4474419 update. 
Hence you need to update the windows to install AVG.
If you need any other help with this concern please let us know.
Thank you.

Let me be clear.  This is my own fresh win7sp1 os.  There are NO updates other than netframework 4.52.  and most hp drivers for my 8440p.  No software, nothing else.

All you would've had to do, is have older versions available.
