I have received numerous emails regarding
AVG update problems, here are some of the tips for solving it.
1. For people who are having trouble downloading the virus definitions.
Follow these instructions below.
Navigate to your AVG install directory and rename your existing url.ini file to url.iniold.
Copy the following and paste into notepad and save it as url.ini. Put this new file into your AVG install directory. You'll now have 3 options to select from with grisoft.com being the default.
[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz
2=ftp.grisoft.com
3=www.grisoft.com
[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
2=ftp.grisoft.com/pub/softw/60/fe/
3=http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe/
Actual URL=3
2. Repair AVG Update file if it is damaged
Download update file manually from
AVG Anti Virus: Updates
Save it to your desktop
Check for Updates -> point it to the update file downloaded.
Please share your experiences.
