Oh god, raaaage

Last night AVG insisted (over and over) that it must update, and that I should reboot.  So I shut it down and went to bed, only to get a face full of Blue Screen of Death when I restarted my PC in the morning.
After a lot of digging (thank god for my netbook), I realized that it's (shocker) because of the AVG update.  Apparently a LOT of people had their systems crash due to the update.

Supposedly you can burn their rescue disc and fix this, and it's working for most people, but I can't even get the damn thing past the disclaimer screen after booting from the CD.  I went to ask about it on the forums, but they've closed the forums (they were open earlier).  Nor are they interested in providing e-mail support for users that have the free version of AVG.
Oh goddd *gnaws on monitor* This is infuriating.
So far the only thing I can think of to do for now is to try and burn another copy and try again.  I don't know why I can't get past the disclaimer/click on "I agree", since no one else seems to be having the problem.  Computers hate me X_x

For anyone else having this problem, by the way, you can download the rescue disc here.  Remember, it's an ISO file, so you can't just drag and drop to burn it to your CD.  Google how to burn an ISO file to a CD.

Wow, how could they let this happen? I find it appalling that a professional company would make an update that crashes thousands of computers and then not at least offer you help. If you called in, you should have lied and said it was the paid version. xD This is awful. D<
