Re: Avg says .bin missing when updating
I think that was the issue I have had for 2 days now - I went ahead and installed another av since AVG 7.5 was going to disappear eventually.

Well, that's all well and good, but I can't figure out how to make a directory to my desktop???? Think I'll just wait until AVG resolves the problem, unless someone can explain to me how to do it.  |

Use Windows Explorer and click on the FOLDER button. Highlight Desktop and you should see all of the files/folders in the right pane that are on your desktop.
File --> New --> Folder then it will have you name the folder.
In this case folder = directory.

Well duh!! I kinda thought he meant make a "folder", not a directory! And you can just right click on the desktop to make a folder. |

It means put the 2 files you downloaded into a new folder on your desktop, name that folder AVG.
Click tools from menu on AVG interface, see where it says download from directory, click that, you will see a list from desktop, double click the AVG folder in that list, update and you are done.
If I can do it, a 3 month old baby can do it. |

 Yes, and I'm no baby, but I am a babe and pretty computer savy - It worked. Yippie!! To me a folder and a directory are 2 different things; had he said folder I would have been finished 40 minutes ago. But thanks for info; you still knew what you were talking about. Was it Naylar, something like that - not dissing you; i'm sure you meant folder......tee hee! |

Folder is the MS way of saying directory. I would rather say directory as calling it a folder confuses most people it seems to me. |

Really? Well, I'm not a geek, but I've never heard them called directories before; well I've heard of directories but didn't think they were one and the same with folders. When you go to make a new one, it doesn't say new "directory", says new "folder". Don't most people use a windows operating system? |

Bloom County | Directories were used for many, many years before MS came along with Win95 or 98 and MS decided to call them folders. I went to college in '93 and in the basic computing classes they were still called directories. |
