Anyone else having AVG problems?

by gadgetgirl . Updated 17 years ago

– or are they just picking on my area?!

I’m the third person I know that has had the following problem:

update tries to run as normal, then fails to connect. In the time it takes to do that it comes up with an outdated database. Tried again, same thing.

Left it a couple of hours, tried again same thing.

Then – uninstalled AVG (8.0, build 224) went back to AVG and downloaded and installed again (again V8.0, build 336)

[i] it’s doing the same damn thing! [/i]

THAT version wouldn’t even let me on the ‘net. Wireless connection was fine, no firewall problems, just a blank page…..

I’ve installed an alternative, but I’d like to get back to AVG as I’m more used to it, and I trust it.

Anyone else come across this?

For info: haven’t installed new hardware/software/anything for the past 4 weeks, haven’t changed ANY settings, haven’t done nuttin’…. honest.

Acer TravelMate 4220, Win XP SP3, all spybot/ad checkers etc ran clean last Sunday morning….. AVG failed on me around 12 hours ago

Additional info: just checked, and the three of us are all on different ISP’s, if that’s any help to any of us!
