When I start AVG, it tells me it is out of date so I try to update it but get told that wsc_proxy.exe isn't accessible.  It is actually in the exact place that AVG is looking for it.  This is my son's old laptop and he was the first user.  I am set up on it as an administrator.  What more do I need to do to be able to update AVG, please (I'd really like  to get rid of his user eventually)
