340507 2005-04-01 23:02:00 As at 09:55 on Sat 2 April I'm not able to update my AVG definitions. AVG recognises there is a definition available, but fails when trying to download. This happens on two different PCs.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

It might be me, as I have just installed an ADSL router, so it maybe the firewall, but I thought I would ask before I start digging into things I am not an expert in. :blush:

TIA.

340509 2005-04-01 23:10:00 How about that.

I've just been trying to updtae my AVG and it kept blowing up so I thought I'll go and what's going on at my fave forum and there it is in Number One.

340510 2005-04-01 23:11:00 I don't get a specific server busy message. It just makes several attempts to connect and then craps out. I've never seen this before which is why I wondered if it might be me. Tony (4941)

340512 2005-04-01 23:13:00 Just tried updating the other PC and it timed out so it is not just you. It does this every now and then so don't worry about it. Try again later this afternoon/evening/tomorrow. FoxyMX (5)

Updates for AVG free edition are at this site.
free.grisoft.com

AVG are not making things easy for people using the free edition, they have reduced the number of servers available for updates and it is even very difficult to find reference to the free edition on their main website.
It is listed under products though.
