AVG Anti-Virus Update Problem - download updates manually

Because of a problem with the AVG server, AVG anti-virus users can not download new updates and therefor are not safe from the latest threats. In this video you can see how to manually download the updates until they fix the problem. you can also see a forum discussion about it here:

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?

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

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.

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?
