AVG Update problem

[Guest Navyguy]

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with XP SP2, with DSL connection. I have

AVG antivirus free version 7.5, Comodo firewall, Spyware Blaster and

Hive

Cleanup. All of these have run well together and I have had no

problems. Today I updated AVG which I do on a regular basis and it ran

successfully however afterwards it said that there was another update

so I ran it again but this time it failed. I tried running it several

times with the same result. The last time it did somethig like this it

gave me a missing bin file error code but this time all it says was

connection with update server failed. It turned out that the the

problem was on the AVG side and I didn't have to do anything and AVG

wasn't of any help whatsoever. I have looked in other forums to see if

there was an answer to this but wasn't able to find anything. Does

anyone know how I can correct this? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Robert

AVG did have an update problem recently, but it was fixed by the next update.

However, support for AVG 7.5 is ending. You have to update to AVG 8 by the end of the year and you

might as well do it now. Here is the free AVG 8 download link:

Tip: The link scanner in v8 and other browser plugins, toolbar etc are best

not installed. The spyware detection is however a great benefit over v7.

Re: AVG Update problem

 

I agree. I always do a custom install for my clients and when the option comes up, uncheck link

scanner and email scanning as well as the toolbar.
