| AVG - I screwed up the update process
I was testing something and set my clock a year ahead for a few minutes. Now my update manager says "next update check scheduled on 10/6/2007 ... and naturally doesn't update. i can manually update no problem, but the auto update doesn't. Any ideas on how to fix?
Using AVG Free edition, latest update (manually updated), Win XP.

Painter, VA | Try resetting your clock back to 2005 to see if the tray icon grays out - it has on mine. Then reset to the correct date. |

To reset the Check For Updates date, uncheck "periodically check for updates", then close the program. Then restart AVG, go back to edit and then recheck "periodically check for updates".

Brick, NJ | May I ask where one finds "periodically check for updates"? I have looked on my version 7.5 of AVG can can't find that option anywhere. |

| For AVG Free 7.5, and maybe 7.1 as well;
* Double click on the AVG icon on the status bar
* Click the "Test Center" button if the "Security status" window comes up
* When the "Test Center" window comes up, click the "Scheduler" button
* Hightlight the "Update plan in Basic mode" line
* Click the "Edit Schedule" button
* Uncheck "Periodically check for Internet updates" and then follow previous instructions.

You most likely have corrupted your configuration files. Sir Raleigh 's instructions should fix it up ( http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17220453;iframe=1#17221031 ). If it doesn't, delete files krnl-0000.cfg and user-0000.cfg. You can find them at: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVG7
Reboot and the configuration files will be rebuilt.
