    Hey there Geeks!

    A problem here with AVG Free (this is a first!) :rolleyes:

    I am running the latest build of AVG (got it from MG http://www.majorgeeks.com/download886.html ) and have been using AVG for about a year. I ran update about an hour ago and noticed that in the main controls window an "!" is appearing in the "Virus Database" sub-window (screen shot attached.) The "Release Date" is 5/2/04 and when I attempt an update I get the message that my AVG system is up to date and no update file is neccessary...

    I am running Windows XP Pro. Under "processes," I have avgserv.exe and avgcc32.exe running. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

    Heartfelt thanks in advance,

    Gina

    What the devil?????????

    I just updated my AVG manually, opened the proggie , it updated it delf, I then got a dialogue box that stated that my AVG was out of date and to update. Went back , it told me my AVG is OK, and then I too had the big exclamation point !!! And I can't find any info on it......Hmmmmmmmmmm. I will look further.

    Hi Gina . funny as it seems but is your pc date correct ? I too have AVG free editions and mine is ok but if i set the date back 14 days i too get the same ! symbol in the virus database tab

    highly_volatile,
    Umm... My computer date/time is Sunday, May 02, 2004 12:46 AM, which is correct. This is crazy! AVG is about the most stable app I am aware of...

    Boccemon,
    I'm going to search too. If I find it first I'll post back.

    Thanks guys!

    Hey, Ginanatl, Boccemon
    Kinda got same thing when updated AVG on one of my rigs, updated etc ran scan and closed then reopened is up todate (!) is gone
    Maybe just sort of glitch all seens fine though after reopening
    As for running processes those two entries are normal.

    I guess so ASUS, LOL! Everything seems to be fine now. I WOULD be the one to check a program just when the server could be having a problem or some other rare glitch is occuring... :eek:

    Boccemon, I hope your AVG is ok too.

    Thanks again!

    I wish it was

    but it seems to be insistent on staying screwed up. I checked my date/time (correct), went to grisoft.com for upate # 674, d/l'd twice with no joy. I've heard a lot of good stuff about Avast around the boards..............maybe it's time??

    no joy

    I can't access the ftp site...it could just be busy as all get out. Think I'm going offline and d/l Avast. I'll be back.........

    Done

    The Avast! program looks quite interesting. I d/l'd it, they sent me a registry number quite quickly and i ran it. I think this will be nice. I don't know about AVG, I'm sure it's a great program, but first their auto update wacked out, now this...and I'm paranoid to begin with (ha). At any rate, I can always go back, right?

    I downloaded it manually from there site, but I downloaded the prior one, instead of the latest. Then I deleted the latest one from the update folder and installed the older one, now it is okay again. I shut the puter down and then rebooted and it was okay.. :)

    I haven't had any problems with AVG at all since my posts here, so all (should be) well with the latest version... (Hopefully!)

    Peace & take care,
