Another user recently had the same issue and here is what AVG told them to do: "Update failed - general error "

- Please open the settings of "Update Manager" component:

- Open the AVG User Interface (for example by clicking on the AVG icon

on your desktop).

- Choose "Advanced settings" from the "Tools" menu.

- Select the "Update" item.

- Select the "Manage" tab and click on the "Delete temporary update

files" button.

-Update AVG Program

I'm using AVG Anti-Virus 2011, and I recently ran into the issue of "A .bin file is missing." What I did:

1. Open the AVG User Interface.

2. Access "Advanced Settings" from the "Tools" menu.

3. Go to "Manage" in the "Update" branch.

4. Click "Delete Temporary Update Files."

5. Try to update AVG.

It worked for me now. Has anyone else done this method with success?

@ClassicTVMan1981X ur method 100% failed and this vidoe method is correct

However, my computer has now been changed to run on Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista, and I have not had any problems related to AVG 11 yet.

[RossPattullo]

Hey your English is really good☺

I say that because your computer language is NOT English.

[egtower]

[LesTrafik]

Excellent video. I've been trying to fix this problem for the past 8 hours. You've been the only help. Good work! Thanks much.

[ninjax105]

I've been trying for a week...

[strictplaya]

Really kewl video it was a great guide!

[LittleFellaDynamics]

Thanks for the helpful video... I've had a right going on with Version 8.0 n all the trojan sillyness - - have 8.5 now n just performed this action- - however AVG interface still says virus/spyware database is outdated even tho it it has logged that last update...

Maaaaaan these things are great until wierdness starts going on... mind you my Internet Explorere aint well so I use Opera as tis betterer

[LittleFellaDynamics]

Actually I sorted it as was being dippy n ma date clock was wrong fer some bollocks reason ;) doh!

[MTimtam]

the webpage wont come up :( i need help

[atlaschooty]

thanks it worked....

[minuoma13]

it"s says Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage ????????

help plz !!!!!!

[atlaschooty]

it happens some times it's better using firefox or use another browser:)

[you54222]

Well my thought was that there was something blocking your connection to the updates.

[renatogilaj97]

I tried Avast and it paralyzed my PC :(

[DarkJediHacker]

This is another reason why I use avast.

It's much more stable.

[shadowgenex]

i am not sure if anyone else has this problem but whenever i try to download the updates from the website the internet page never loads. now i know there is nothing wrong with my internet connection but it seems other people can access the site so i was wonderinif you had a solution?

[lollypwop]

uninstall AVG and download avast home edition free

[shadowgenex]

i started wth the free edition which was rubbish,couldn't find the solution to that so i bought it lol i found the solution though which was simple. avg hates internet explorer so i opened the page with safari and that worked

[tobii008]

thanks you are the best !

[THEStefanBL]

Evo šta stoji na stranici za update:

AVI: 270.9.19

Kad skinem taj fajl i izaberem manual update, sve ide O. K. Na kraju mi kaže AVG da je update uspjeo, ali mi u statistici (osim što piše da je update-ovan prije par minuta) stoji:

Virus DB: 270.9.10. (Umjesto ".19")

Da li to znači da update nije uspjeo ili s AVG-om nešto nije u redu?

[THEStefanBL]

I pod Anti-virus mi piše da je "database outdated".

[hotmonkey000]

ma imo sam i ja isti problem. pogledaj u lijevom dojnjem kutu u statistici šta ti piše za ''last update''. ako je nov datum onda je OK, a što se tiče ovoga ''database out to dated'' to bi trebalo nestat kad-tad ako ti je update nov

[THEStefanBL]

O. K. Hvala!

[mcbellerz]

nothing on my pc will update not even windows update

[Chattyhu]

you are the man. thanks

[kemetpowernow]

thanks alot

[misunderstoodmarshan]

you are the man

[garfe99]

nice1 dude

[WatS0funnY]

thank u !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[healysgod]

Hey, thankyou very much for posting this as I was beginning to panic. Good job cheers

[ronzy369]

i have to open the link from google in cached format and can only come in text version. i tried downloading the updates but it still said it failed connecting with the server. now the only way i can open a google link is to cach it. what do i do???

[hotmonkey000]

I'm not sure I understand what you are explaining. There is a link to the updates in the video description.

[ronzy369]

i've opened the link in the video description but cant downloaded the updates because it still says theres a connection error to the server.

[hotmonkey000]

I don't know I just clicked on the download link a moment ago and it asked me if I wanted to save so it should be fine. Btw, what web browser are you using ( IE, firefox...)?

[ronzy369]

i'm using IE but i think i might have a virus because my computers going all crazy. do u think i should download another anti virus for the mean time

[hotmonkey000]

well it would be a good idea to get rid of that. It's your call. maybe you could first try downloading the updates in a different web browser like firefox. but if you still can't download them then than it's your call

[8TheBlackRose8]

I have a CTF files problem -_-

[ultrafresh33]

dude i am subscribeibg good vid it helped

[cayetanomark]

they fixed it :D

[cayetanomark]

can u tell me when the automatic updates work and tnanks it works ^-^

[hotmonkey000]

Well if your problem was the bin file than you just have to wait for AVG to fix their problem, and until then you can manually update, but if it tells you that you have a corrupted CTF file than let me know because there is another way you can fix that!

[Yami20000]

hey when i download AVG and when i am setting it up and at the end it comes up with a error when the set up is done pls help me

[hotmonkey000]

I need more info on the error! Can you give more specific information like at what point does it happen and exactly what does it say?

[mooky9669]

thanks for the info..only problem so far is about the bin file missing.

[mooky9669]

I just started having the same problem the past couple days and have been manually updating. I hope this is fixed a.s.a.p.

[hotmonkey000]

Yes but it seems that their is a new update problem AVG users are having with some CTF files. If you get any error messages about those files, you are gonna have to rename/delete them deep in your system directories. I'm thinking of making a video for that. Let me know if you need more help.

[nightmmare123]

hey i have that problem too the CTF files error thing can u help me plz plz!!!!!!!!!!!

[hotmonkey000]

OK, just tell me what Windows are you running?
