Update problem

Since 9th Nov. 07 there is the following error when trying to update
AVG Anti-Spyware (paid) manually:
"Error: Failed to send receive data:0"
Not being blocked by firewall. Bypassing Proxomitron has no effect.

Funny thing is, wife is running the free version on a similar setup and
there the updates get downloaded successfully.

Hopefully this will soon rectify itself or be rectified.

 

OK - Fixed after reinstall over the top.

 

What is actually already again the matter with the updates servers? I wished, it pass times one month without such problems.

 

Very funny. Each time, few minutes after someone these problems announces, functions the servers suddenly again. Very strangely!

 

I was having the problem earlier, but my PC updated. However, my laptop is still having the same problem. It appears that AVG is again having an update problem. Jerry

 

I'm a brand new user- just d/l'ed it a half hour ago. But it looks like it's going to be a very short relationship, as i'm having the same can't-update problem.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but problem persists.
Since i've seen complaints by others going back months, if i don't get a fast fix i'll give up in a day or two.

Earth to AVG: you have a problem!

PS: yes, i checked my firewall to see if it was the block, and i don't have bitdefender so the "scan-http-traffic" suggestion doesn't apply and i've checked my Comodo firewall, AVG anti-virus, and Spyware Terminator for equivalent setting controls, but no luck.

 

infinice,

I don't think its your firewall or anything else on your system causing the update problem. I am having the same problem here lately. I have used AVG for months with no update problems, until the last week or so. Now occassionally it won't update. I think they are having server problems again.

 

This is an excellent AS program in my view. I have used it from the Ewido days, and it has run well on the three computers I have tried it on.
But for awhile it has been plagued by update problems. I do not plan to ditch it, but it is annoying.

Regards,
Jerry
