AVG Updater - Bin file is missing.?

Question

I'm trying to update my AVG virus protector. does anyone know how to get a .bin file ?

Its telling me that a bin file is missing and I don't know how to contact tech support from a basic version.

Answer 1

I had the same problem a week ago. After running updates for like 50 times (even though it was failing) and some reboots at the end of the day, it went away.

It is a bug in the Free AVG 8.0 version and their own automatic update will fix it somehow.

You are still protected, just run the updates manually 2-3 times a day (even it fails) and shut down your computer at least once a day and restart it.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Mine is saying that too, I'm just going to try again tomorrow, maybe it is just a problem on their end, if it is happening to us both at the same time?

Answer 3

Do the following:

1) go to AVG Download page  http://www.grisoft.com/ww.download-updat...

2) make a folder on your desktop called it AVG

3) download AVI: 270.6.4

4) download IAVI: / 1616

5) move the downloaded files to the folder you made called AVG

6) launch AVG by clicking on the symbol on your task bar.

7) select the menu tools -> update from directory

8) select the folder called AVG where you put the downloads.

The Update will then work until the next update comes out.  

Note:  This just updates your computer to the latest files.  It does not correct the missing bin file error.

Answer 4

The problem is on AVG's end.  Best advice...just sit tight and wait for AVG to correct the problem.  Btw, the bin file in questions is missing....missing on their server!!!  I knew I should have renewed my subscription with Nod.
