missing .bin file

[Guest Geoff]

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.

A *.bin file refers to a binary file. 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.

Known issue.. Caused by a corrupt update package (at AVG's servers). They

should fix this shortcly, and no user action is required.

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.

I had the same problem. 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.
