Does anybody know what's going on with AVG8.0?

Question

i cant update this new available protection it says"a.bin file is missing"Furthermore i cant connect with their website through the help tab

Answer 1

ok don't listen to them go to

http://freeforum.avg.com/read.php?12,142...

this is what i got:

Currently the update for AVG Free v8 is corrupted... you will have to wait for AVG Technologies to address the issue with the update.

The updates that your AVG currently have will still provide the protection it is setup to detect. In other-words, just getting this update will not make your AVG Free ineffective and as soon as AVG Tech resolves the issue you will be able to update to the current virus definitions at that time.

So in short... please do not post to report the issue, its already known. Also please be patient until AVG Technologies can address the issue.

DO NOT do a system restore its not even going to work.there is a bug on avg and they r telling us we have to wait it out til the problem is fixed.
