How do I Retrieve a .Bin File for My Anti-Virus?

Question

I started a virus scan and the update manager said that a .bin file was missing. Now it's not able to get updates or anything like that.

So my questions are, what is a .Bin file, what does it do and how can I retrieve it?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yeah I was having the same problem for like 2 days, so I just uninstalled it and I am going to try AVAST.

Answer 2

Hey,

Don't worry about anything, I just have the same problem. All AVG users are. It's just kind of like a bug, or the update is missing some files. The best recommended thing I suggest you should do is nothing. You might mess up AVG, and waste your time. They will probably update this soon. Your Antivirus and Spyware protection and all those stuff will still be working properly, so you shouldn't worry. The bad thing is you will have the ! on your grayish AVG icon. If you do not trust me you can search 'bin file missing' on Yahoo! Answers. You can see a list of questions exactly like yours posted somewhere 6 hrs, 7 hrs, 5 hrs ago, or somewhere today. It is just a false update made by grisoft. Just be patient and it'll be updated, and everything will be working properly again.

Good Luck!
