AVG Ver. 8 Corrupt Bin File

UPDATE .BIN error information... Aug 16th 2008Posted by: rdsok - Moderator (IP Logged) Date: August 17, 2008 12:07AM Currently the update for AVG Free v8 is corrupted... you will have to wait for AVG Technologies to address the issue with the update. Reporting the issue again by other users here will not do any good until it is resolved. The updates that your AVG currently have will still provide the protection it is setup to detect. In otherwords, not being able to get this update will not make your AVG Free ineffective and as soon as AVG Tech resolves the...

AVG disguises fake traffic as IE6
Posted by admin / Under AVG Technologies
Exclusive AVG has rejiggered the fake traffic it's spewing across the internet, causing new headaches for the world's webmasters. In late February, AVG paired its updated anti-virus engine with a real-time malware scanner that vets search engine results before you click on them. If you search Google, for instance, this LinkScanner automatically visits each address that turns up on Google's results page. According to the company, more than 20 million people have downloaded the new AVG 8, and this has caused a huge up-tick in traffic on sites across the web, including The Register. Because the scanner attempts to disguise...

Renowned WWII fighter pilot "Tex" Hill dies
Posted by admin / Under AVG Technologies
David Lee "Tex" Hill, a World War II fighter pilot who was the youngest brigadier general in the history of the Texas Air National Guard, died Thursday. He was 92. . . .

Today's Norton antivirus: unusable by normal humans
Posted by admin / Under AVG Technologies
"When you have a few minutes," my father asked me on the phone last night, "could you help me with my antivirus stuff?" The trial version of Norton AntiVirus 2006 on his three-month-old Lenovo laptop was expiring, and he was bit confused by the upgrade warning, so he wanted me to help him through the transition. One of the options was to upgrade to Norton AntiVirus 2007, for $39 (after the $10 promotional coupon he got in e-mail). Sounded good to me. "Sure," I said. "It should only take a few minutes." I took control of his computer via LogMeIn...

AVG GLITCH
Posted by admin / Under AVG Technologies
After my automatic AVG update came through this AM, I could no longer log on. All my cookies had been deleted, and the computer would not accept new ones. I opened system restore, and the date had been reset to 2099. I got a message advising that the update had problems. I reset, ran restore, and the date changed again. I ended up unloading AVG, the computer works. I have reloaded AVG, but not going to update until later, in case this is a problem with their update file. It is the only explanation I can imagine.

Need help with Computer Virus
Posted by admin / Under AVG Technologies
My son recently downloaded the google toolbar and I ran the AV program and there were viruses detected in this particular item. After the scan, AVG said, "selected object is located inside the archive and cannot be healed." How in the world do I handle something like this?
