Yes I have got AVG 8 free version, and did not realise it was updating, probably taken about 15-20 minutes to download if it started when I turned on.

Hi Keith,

You have managed to update yours then? Is yours the free version?

It appears from the Grisoft website that there are three versions available.

AVG Free, which has Anti-virus and Anti-Spyware protection

AVG Anti-Virus Pro which is supposed to provide additional on-line protection and free tech support

AVG Internet Security which also has a firewall and anti spam options

Details on this web page.

Updating seems to timeout, hence the error message, so there is probably a problem with the grisoft site. I would leave alone and try again later.

Think it is them, mine wouldn't connect to the update.

It is telling me that the connection with the update server failed and also says component error you may not be protected, even though it said it was up to date before.

Hi Devon Dweller,

Has your icon at the bottom of your screen changed to black instead of yellow,blue, green and red?

Devon Dweller Report 3 Jul 2008 15:02

It's telling me that the component file is missing....so it is them and not us

Hi Mo,

We have AVG 8 I think it is when they stopped the AVG 7.5 you could download the newer version free, which I did. Up until now everything has been fine.

Hi Libby,

I have no idea what this update failed. @update_result_missing_ctf. means either.

My AVG Icon at the bottom of the screen is black with a red mark in the middle so it is not working properly at all, still running scan though.

Pay?? I downloaded it free and it's updated every day for the last month without any problems. Im sure its just a technical hitch.
