A .bin File Is Missing when updating AVG 8
This is Sunday 17th August and attempting up update my AVG 8 free,the update failed, and the reason was no .bin file.
I actually removed and reinstalled AVG 8 free and the update failed again for the same reason.
This leaves me open to attack.Can you give some advice ?
It appears there is a problem with the AVG 8 updates this weekend. A post on the AVG Forums indicates the problem will be fixed for the next update.
While AVG hasn’t updated, it doesn’t mean you are unprotected. Although you should always take care regardless of the status of your virus scanner.
We’d suggest retrying until the good update comes through.

Appreciate your thorough response and what you found out on the forum…that I didn’t know existed, the forum that is….Thank you very much for your response; especially the part about there is no problem and that I am not unprotected; comforting because that was certainly what was lingering on my mind…you’re a good person…Thanks…

Thanks for the advice; have been installing-uninstalling AVG 8 and received the ‘A.bin file is missing’ comment. Have even utilised system restore and undertaken much ‘head-scratching!!
Keep smiling
