A different file worked for the 8\28\2008 problem

1)manually download the following file:
http://downloadfree.avg.com/update/u7iavi164044.bin

Access the “Update from directory” from the “Tools” tab on the main AVG interface, & then point it in the direction where you saved the file.

Just tried that link for the .bin file — does not seem to be working…

It is 8/28/08… I tried this, which sounded like it was what I wanted… but I do not have a “more information link” on my popup. I only have Update or Cancel

My problem is that the update keeps failing… have never had this problem before… no other error message. If I don’t have this link on my popup… how can I get around this?

Allelujah, it’s working, this trick is working.
I will save files, transfer to flash drive and use on all my others systems.

It seams AVG must fix- update problematic file with automatic update from AVG interface.

Thanks for the solution.
