Re: Need help with AVG 6.0 Free not updating
I don't have an answer to your original question, but I do have a suggestion. Since the PC is 75 miles away, perhaps you might consider using a remote access/control program to save you driving over in the future. Since the PC is running Windows Me, look at using NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (RDS) or UltraVNC, which now has an encryption plug-in. Sitting at home and fixing the remote PC sure would beat driving 150 miles round trip...;)

Probably not a bad idea...will that work if I have Win98? (NetMeeting)
It would be ideal to have something like that as I know I have programs installed on there that may need attention beyond their skill level, which is most everything that isn't automatically updated. You all have these types of relatives don't you?

Yes it will...
You should only need to forward TCP Port 1503 through any firewalls to make this work when calling direct IP to IP... For additional information you can look at the Resource Kit...
