318626 2005-01-27 10:18:00 Is anyone else experiencing delays in downloading the updates for AVG 7 or is it just me? (and a few others I know?) The update screen appears to hang (although technically it hasn't) while it is talking to the AVG server. It's pot luck whether the update works or not....

I've done a search through PF1 and Grisoft without luck. I'd be interested to hear other views.

318627 2005-01-27 10:39:00 Have the same problem as well. I have been downloading from www.majorgeeks.com Then using the update from folder option. pheonix (36)
318628 2005-01-27 11:24:00 There is a big one waiting for download, needed a reboot to install it.

And yes, but I suspect their servers are very busy at the moment with everyone swaping 6 for 7 etc etc, which by the way is still being suported until mid Feb.

318633 2005-01-28 01:16:00 One of the Grisoft screens ask you to give your commercial license number.
it says the update service for avg7 is not available for free avg users.
At this time they also appear to have stopped all support for v6.

Seems it is no longer free. What other options exist?

318634 2005-01-28 01:16:00 I have been having the same problem but have now downloaded it successfully. I put it down to trying to download while the computer is performing a scan (on start up) and got around the problem by stopping the download, letting the computer get fully up and running then going back and doing the upgrade. theother1 (3573)
