Re: Need help with AVG 6.0 Free not updating

I'm thinking I'll just uninstall/reinstall. What is annoying about it is that the user was seeing they are getting an update and thought everything was working just fine. (They didn't notice the Nov 14th date wasn't changing)

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

It sounds like he was getting the program updates okay (and is up to date) but not the current database, probably do to a corrupt version.avg file. The program is still using avg6.avi which is the DB from Nov 13, 2003. Moving the files I mentioned above should get everything back into sync with the latest DB.

Lightbulb goes on! Thanks for the extra explanation on that dp I'll sure try that first
