I'm renting a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from a hosting company. I was just configuring and sorting out the machine and I decided to pop on AVG 8.5 server, problem is I also installed the firewall, so now I cannot RDP/Log Me in and cannot even ping the machine:(.

What a muppet I am, I work in IT so it should have been obvious to me this would have happened. Do I have to call someone from the hosting company and get them to disable it, Id rather not as it's £60 for 30 Minutes:eek:

It's okay I got it sorted, one of the on site chaps popped down there and uninstalled it within 5 minutes of me emailing them:thumbup: In addition to that they did it out of courtesy (no charge), If anyone is looking for webhosting might I reccomend www.memset.com:thumbup:

Edit: I'm still a muppet

Why on earth would you put AVG on a server???

Beats me as it's against it's terms and conditions unless you pay for it.

Epic fail :(

Best call them up and get them to remove it or maybe it'd be cheaper and better to just have them re-provision the VM.

Beats me as it's against it's terms and conditions unless you pay for it.

Why put avg on a server, because it's adequate protection, cheap and light on resources. I only wanted the antivirus, not the firewall also. I was just being a dozy muppet and let it install that too

I have the licence for the server edition, and as for the last post did you not read my second, this is all sorted now:D
