    How is it working if you don't know the key? WPA is more secure than wep
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Presumably the system restore to before the OP installed AVG has reset the WEP key.

    The easiest way of 'finding out' what it is, is to log onto the router and change it and then change it to that on the PC.

    But you would be better using WPA as albertross said.

    BTW AVG works fine with Vista, the other free ones I have perosnal experienc eof on Vista are Avast and AntiVir (which I currently use).
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
