Can you help me with an AVG problem?

Question

Suddenly my AVG isn't working properly. I keep getting a message saying, "A.bin file missing'. I have performed a clean re-installation and am still receiving this error. It is not allowing my AVG to update. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this and what I should do to correct it?

Answer 1

same thing happened to my dad on his computer... it's an international problem with AVG right now. they are trying to fix it, it's not just you. i guess you should just sit tight, or try contacting AVG.

in the meantime i would avoid any websites that you think may be harmful just to be safe.. hopefully the problem will be fixed soon.  

Answer 2

You might want to try another program. Go to http://netsecuritycentral.com and see if you find a better, more stable one.

This is a known issue with AVG. They are working on it, but there is a fix that alot of folks are using. FWIW, AVG is a very good antivirus program.

1) go to »www.grisoft.com/ww.download-update

2) make a directory on your desktop called AVG

3) download AVI: 270.6.4

4) download IAVI: / 1616

5) move the dowloaded files to the directory you made called AVG

6) launch AVG

7) select tools -> update from directory

8) select the directory called AVG where you put the downloads

That should do it.

Answer 5

AVG is having problems right now. It'll probably be ok tomorrow.

Answer 6

Good thing you asked. I was going nuts trying to figure out what was going on with the AVG program. I think i rely too much on this protection. I hope that it is fixed by tomorrow, like one of these other guys mentioned.  

Answer 7

Uninstall it and reinstall it again, that is a sure fix..and as someone elese said , avast is alot better, although i use kaspersky
