AVG vs CoH

So I'm having issues logging into City Of Heroes, and this happened right after I re-installed AVG (Anti Virus Guard for those of you who don't know), and I know that this i the issue because I've had this problem when I tried to do the Dual Pistols Beta. What happens is: I'll load up the game, put in my username and password, then the game will let go to the server selection screen, after that it goes black then I get the "City Of Heroes has encountered an error and had to shut down" message, I tried verifying and that didn't help, and I don't want to go with some anti virus software. Please help

Make sure that the AVG program knows that City of Heroes is a trusted program. Somewhere in the AVG program should be a place to put in trusted programs so that it won't block them.

Ok so I tried what you said it didn't work, I even went as far to as to add it to the Windows Firewall Exception list, that didn't work, I even installed a new Anti Virus software, that didn't work, I'm out of ideas =/

I had to uninstall it and I use, some free thing I don't remember, but AVG and Windows Defender both hated CoH regardless of everything I tried.

Funny, I use AVG and have never had any issues with CoX.

Weird, my wife uses Windows Defender and I use Windows Security Essentials, and never had a problem with running CoH. Weird how different computer builds end up being so diverse.

I currently use AVG and am having zero issues with CoH.

You may need to rip and reinstall CoH (yes, I know, pain, LOTS OF PAIN!)
