Hello. I’m a bit confused about my avg. free. Till now it has work perfect for me until today it just didn’t want to update the latest virus definitions. I did scan with trend micro online for virus and lavasoft ad-ware and nothing came out. all clean on both test any suggestion would be much appreciated thank you.
I know this doesn't help, but on a craptop with Win2k I had an AVG install that refused to Auto-protect. I could open it up and scan scan away but it would never autoprotect. Never figured out what it was since I wiped the install about a 2 weeks after.
What message are you getting ? If it is that the file can't be found on the server, they are having problems.

Are you on a 24/7 box ?
is the start tray symbol greyed out ?
if so it might be you need to re-boot.
Works fine here on the East Coast U.S.
I just updated 2 boxes.
cheers
edit: Well they're down now. My wife just tried to update on her box and no go. Server is down. The update can't be retrieved from the server.
cheerios
Hi, to everyone and thank you again for the replies
Are you on a 24/7 box? Yes I am.
Is the start tray symbol greyed out? Yes it is
If so it might be you need to re-boot. Did already four times and nothing. no idea I even uninstall it and install it back and nothing. I’m clueless “more than usual”
What message are you getting? The update can't be retrieved from the server. :confused:
*sigh* Then check the link I gave. They are having server problems.Quote:

This isnt the first time tha Grisoft have had server problems, and probably wont be the last. Never known the problem to exist for more than 24hrs.
If you ever encounter this problem whay not follow this advice
found on the links given by hesperus, but we have ALL read the info given didnt we.Quote:
I manually downloaded the latest file u7iavi151wf.bin on this page: [free.grisoft.com]
Personaly I would only bother with the manual download if:
The problem Existed for more than a day
or
I had a cleanup job and I wanted to have all bases covered - or the infection is very recent (**** most repairs I have the infection is better than 48hrs old b4 I see them)
Hello,
thank’s for your help everyone. Well What I finally decided to do was to install back an old copy of Norton 04 That I had around for a wile. I’m too paranoid if I don’t get an updated for mor than a couple hours I think my computer. Is invaded by some evil virus or worse Even thought I have to say I like avg antivirus very much and not only because is free. I do appreciate your replies and your thoughts.
Norton 04???
If you haven't already, you better snag all the new signatures for that 04, if they are still available.
BTW avg is back up.
:) hummm! well so much for norton i'm back to AVG it's working
If you haven't already, you better snag all the new signatures for that 04, if they are still available.
you are right Relyt thanks for the info.
Too bloody parnoid.. your prepared to install an old version of a bloat ware AV that in the domestic version updates once per week, except with extreem situations ie a cat 4 or above virus, and a 2 yearold version at that.. it will require 30MB min of update before you have any semblence of protection..Quote:

Even AVG dosent update Hourly .. so your sweating over a few hours? its not as if it is an IDS, Firewall, and proxy with content filter as well as an AV.. You wanting commercial protection from a FREE DOMESTIC GRADE AV..???
give me a break.. dunno why I bother ****ing posting on this retarded site..
Because you lost the Ashes, old chap..................and until you win the Americas Cup, you will be a grumpy toad?.............tell me, does a Cat. 5 hurricane take offspin, or legspin?Quote:

I will not even mention "underarm" :D [very private joke between cricketing types]
For my North American comrades..................I do believe that I will now be sentenced to death "in absentia" in the Antipodes. :eek:
ur-karma
AGV is OK...............but it will only upgrade if they have something?...............try getting Avast! and run it as well...............not a good idea, but at least it "talks to you more"..............and I am running the two together............interactive...............NOT a good idea? but I can handle crashes?
:D
How to protec youself chip:
AVG
or
AVAST
or
ANTIVIR
and ClamAV as extended scanner

Not use computer as administrator "day work", just install and manage applications through administrator account, use password for administrator account. (right click on file, chose "Run as..." another user)
Or uselinux + linuxproxy with firewall and and AV for proxy + hardware firewall + few command line antivirus scanners + good security level.
Here was one little list for them who want to have better security just for doing of "home work".
ur-karma: myself and many friends have had this problem, and it doesnt seem to be a server problem (one persons would and anothers wouldnt), you can download and update from folder although sometimes this doesnt work.
my solution all be it crude is to download the latest free version of AVG, uninstall the old and then it seems to work, its weird and we couldnt find anything about this problem when we searched
