What wrong with my AVG Free 8.0 update manager?

Question

I keep getting a message that my anti-virus and anti-spyware databases are outdated, but when I restart my computer as prompted, the databases are still outdated. How many times am I supposed to restart my computer to update the databases? I have already restarted five times.

Answer 1

It usually happens, when you update your AVG anti virus definitions database,, after a long gap of period.

As updates go on changing on daily basis, due to addition of new type of viruses discovered,, it is recommended to get your anti virus definitions , updated on regular basis.

This problem can happen with any other anti virus programmes also, due to reasons cited above.

For now, UN-install AVG 8, &  re-instal latest, updated one.

Hope i am not wrong.

Answer 2

I have been one of the persons, answering questions here at Yahoo Answers and have always recommended certain programs I like my self

AVG, Avast were 2 of those programs, Anitvir I have never used, so can not say anything about that one.

However, since avg8 free is out, I see here a lot of askers with problems like you have with avg8. I stopped recommending avg and advise to install Avast Free.
