IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I have AVG anti-virus on my computer. A week or so ago it stopped updating and now I get a “computer not protected” warning. What’s gone wrong?

You are probably running AVG7.5 which Grisoft stopped updating at the end of April, 2009. You have to update to the newer AVG 8.0.

If you are running Windows ME 95 or 98, you’ll find AVG 8.0 won’t work on your system so you’ll need to follow our instructions on replacing AVG with Avast!.

Some people have had problems with AVG 8 so you may want to consider Anti Vir or Avast as an alternative.

You need to do this upgrade immediately as you aren’t currently protected from Internet nasties and remember to uninstall the old AVG 7.5 before updating to the new version.
