AVG Free problem

Having problems installing that new stick of memory? Found some great software or having issues with something? Or maybe want to chat about your PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo, Sega, even your old Spectrum 48k....! Or maybe something you want to sell or acquire (computing related of course!). Let us know here...

AVG Free problem

Post by UBT - Rick Horn »

My AVG Free won`t update. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but with the same result. It also flagged up "missing .bin file".
I also tried a restore point, but it wouldn`t let me get back further than this morning, after the problem occurred.
I`m using Windows Vista.
I`m way out of my depth on this one. Can anyone help please.

Rick.

Hi Bob.
That`s rather strange! Maybe AVG have given us a duff download.
As you say, let`s see what happens tomorrow.  :roll:

I had the same problem this morning.

Don't know if it just cleared itself or several reboots fixed it but it seems to be okay now.

Tried uninstalling again, then rebooted before reinstalling.
Everything is now back to normal.  :hello1:

Seems to be a vista problem. I'm running AVG 8 Free on XP home and haven't experienced any problems at all.
