I saw on another board that there are problems with AVG again. This is what I got when I tried to update.

 

Hi 'am getting .........

 

The download was almost complete when I got...



If they are trying to tell us something I wish they would come out with it!

 

I keep getting those too & have now given up.

Foxfire

 

Well I just thought I thought it was just a one off last time but..........

 

I did get the update.

 

OK Great still the same for me, I'll check in the morning !

 

I too, among every one I know using AVG Free edition have been experiencing problems downloading the updates. I am a dial-up user and it constantly is telling me I need to open my browser manually and it is already open. In the last month I have been lucky to get the download on first try maybe 1 time. I am also having the same problems today March 31 mentioned above.
Someone sent me this information to try. They said they researched the problem and this was the solution. I did not try it until today, (and I still couldn't update.) so maybe todays problems are of a different nature.
They suggested to open the url.ini file found in the Grisoft folder, in note pad. Delete what is there and put

[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz
2=ftp.grisoft.com
3=www.grisoft.com

[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
2=ftp.grisoft.com/pub/softw/60/fe/
3=http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe/
Actual URL=3

in its place and save it. I did this but everytime I try to access for an update it changes the number 3 back to a 1., Being you can not contact Grisoft unless you are using a pay version I guess they are wanting to make us all pay.
Will keep watching this site to see if anyone finds out the solution to this problem.

 

4dsmom:

When I added the above file I was instructed to rename the original file to to URL.INIOLD and create the new one and name it URL.INI. I did it this way and the Actual URL=3 always stays that way.

 

Ok will try that. As of now I still cannot get update.
thanks


went back and did that and retried again to download and it went through. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not but it did work. Thanks again

 

Glad it worked for you
