Hi Cochise
 I wouldn't think there was much wrong. I would just uninstall and then reinstall as that is all that is normally needed Regards

Re: AVG 7 Updates??
I had the same thing happen over and over for the short time I had AVG7 installed. Eventually, it would download after I canceled a couple of times. I finally got fed up and switched to Antivir which, although it has large downloads, works and the downloads don't slow down my computer.
I thought maybe the AVG problem was with my computer or installation. Now, I think it's at their server.

Re: AVG 7 Updates??
I've done the uninstall bit acouple of times of late Nick...everything just the same....can't understand what the prob is..it used to D/L updates in a trice....I'm beginning to think your way Chuck... I thought it might be my OS but as you say could well be their Server......Bummer....Good things never seem to get better...
 After about ten minutes it shows there is a zonking great Update but when I say YES! I get ZIP.....Sigh! Thanks for the input anyway Guys, Regards, Cochise,

And to think, before you signed on to that new high speed connection, you probably wouldn't even notice.

Re: AVG 7 Updates??
Ah yes fellow creatures the same with me. I am pretty sure the problem was at Gristsoft AVG end. This morning I had the same problem as described. This evening I tried again and got the update just fine. I seem to recall creature Peaches had an update problem too mentioned in past thread. Server overload sounds likely. This morning I think it would time out and tell me to check my internet connection. This is something I can deal with, but only up to a point. If it becomes regular I will need to move on. After all, for me anyway, it is free.

Re: AVG 7 Updates??
I Installed avg 7 last night as an on demand scanner. I'm running bitdefender standard as resident. After installing avg, I couldn't get it to update either. Finally after about 10 minutes of hitting the update button...I finally got it to update. There is a thread concerning this matter over at dslreports.com. The problem seems to be on grisofts end..the servers.
I went to update avg this afternoon, and I didn't have any problem. Update went well. |

Re: AVG 7 Updates??
Until Grisoft gets the problems with its free update server sorted out, here is a work-around.
1. Open your hosts file with notepad 2. Add the following line: 193.86.103.19 guru.grisoft.com 3. Save Now you can update normally again. This will allow you to connect to an alternate site for updates which is not overloaded. |
