> Basically, a first time install of AVG 7 will have default
> permissions. \Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free has inherited
> permissions from \Program Files. This is preferred, because lower
> privileged accounts can't damage it.
> Once any files are updated, the permissions are changed to
> "Everyone" with "Full Control" on the updated files, and will change
> the owner to whomever is logged in. Even limited users become
> owners. That does not stop at \Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free, it
> will even do that to AVG's drivers in %windir%\system32\drivers.
