Guest Geoff Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Hi, AVG is telling me I have a missing .bin file, and so would accept updates. I've tried downloading avg again. This doesn't fix it. What could this .bin file be? How would I get it back. Thanks. -- remotelearner

This error is showing up whilst doing an automatic update of AVG. The update definition file may be corrupt, resulting in the error message. Probably nothing wrong with AVG that is installed in the computer. Noted this issue on Saturday PM when the problem occurred in several local computers.
Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: missing .bin file Known issue.. Caused by a corrupt update package (at AVG's servers). They should fix this shortcly, and no user action is required. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/error-a-bin-file-is-missing-when-updating-avg-anti-virus-80/ -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] The Winhelponline Blog http://www.winhelponline.com/blog "Geoff" <Geoff@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3FFE5CB8-C774-4CA7-8E0C-51137F8CD261@microsoft.com... > Hi, AVG is telling me I have a missing .bin file, and so would accept > updates.

Guest Gerry Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: missing .bin file Geoff I have just noticed the same problem here. I have uninstalled and have tried downloading a replacement. I am having trouble linking to the AVG site so it could well be a number of other persons have the same problem. ~~~~ Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geoff wrote: > Hi, AVG is telling me I have a missing .bin file, and so would accept > updates.

I deleted AVG version 8 and reinstalled an earlier version, 7.5 that I had. Then installed version 8 over it and everything was OK.
