This has been driving me crazy. I had antivirus 08 crap popping up all over the place. Installed into my toolbar. Nightmare! I had to pay 49.95 because it said I had 40 trojan horses, spyware, adware corrupting my computer. The balloons kept popping up. I uninstalled antivirus o8, but it was still on toolbar. Avg was working fine. spyzooka took care of it. However today, my avg was all screwed up. I uninstalled, ran spyzooka scan, then tried to reinstall. no luck But when i tried uninstalling avg free then reinstall "a. bin is missing" kept coming up.

you saved my ass....i am keeping my fingers crossed.

Funny to see the directory vs. folder debate again -- it's been so long. If you're old enough to remember DOS, then you remember the "dir" command that showed you a list of all the files in a dir-ectory. Not sure who came up with "folders" first, Apple or MS. My guess is Apple, with the first real GUI and the cute idea of making an icon that looks like a paper file folder and having it represent a directory.

Ahh, life before GUIs and mice.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20962960 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:16:01 EDT Re: Avg says .bin missing when updating http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20962952 anon : thank you very much ^__^]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20962952 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:09:58 EDT Re: Avg says .bin missing when updating http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20962936 iliketoplay1 : Is this problem with version 8 only?

reply to johnbor
Found this solution on the yahoo answers forum from member intc_escapee and it worked for me:

1) go to »www.grisoft.com/ww.download-update
2) make a directory on your desktop called AVG
3) download AVI: 270.6.4
4) download IAVI: / 1616
5) move the dowloaded files to the directory you made called AVG
6) launch AVG
7) select tools -> update from directory
8) select the directory called AVG where you put the downloads

That's it. Should be fixed.

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 issue you will be able to update to the current virus definitions at that time.

The main problem is the AVG update program. So for the meantime if you want your AVG to be updated you need to update it manually and download the update manually.

File --> New --> Folder then it will have you name the folder.

In this case folder = directory.

Again, updating from directory rather than automatically seems to best choice at present.

I installed Avast! Antivirus and ran a scan which uncovered a corrupt .dll file. (avgcorex.dll) The path was: "Documents & Settings\all users\application data\avg8\update\backup\avgcorex.dll". Avast listed it as a Trojan! My O/S is Win 2K-Pro.

Or you can download same via MajorGeeks.com
However, if you have automatic update running to guru.avg.com/softw/80free/update, then the .bin file missing error will reappear until AVG stores that update (.bin) file on the server.

Found this solution on the yahoo answers forum from member intc_escapee and it worked for me:

1) go to »www.grisoft.com/ww.download-update
2) make a directory on your desktop called AVG
3) download AVI: 270.6.4
4) download IAVI: / 1616
5) move the dowloaded files to the directory you made called AVG
6) launch AVG
7) select tools -> update from directory
8) select the directory called AVG where you put the downloads

That's it. Should be fixed.

I will try the fix that is posted further down.

Apparently there is an issue with one of the update files, specifically "u7iavi1616oo.bin", as such AVG has pulled the file from public download. AVG is aware of the issue and is working to correct the matter.

Reinstalling will not resolve the issue - just wait a day and try updated tomorrow. :hmm:

LadyL, you are missing about one months worth of updates. The full install (Windows: 8.0.138) was put up back on July 4th. :(

HELP!!!!!
Found this:

on the freeforum.avg.com site...something about the Manager being corrupted and there is no fix as yet (they're working on it)...but all should be still protected from previous updates.
I just re-installed the software...my defs are at 1533...so am I still protected?
