| 241797 | 2004-06-05 09:11:00 | Hi Merlin, regarding your previous notice for a large update file, if you look in the Grisoft/Avg6 folder their now is a 2.4MB file named Video Clip. I tried to open it but it comes up as corrupt. Do you also have this now installed. |

My results when trying to open it are the same as yours, it gives a message that it is corrupt. |

| 241800 | 2004-06-05 09:40:00 | In the folder Avg6 their are 6 other folders, the 5th is Update, the 6th is User, then there is a long list of files. The 6th File on my list is labelled avg6 is shown as a WMP icon, the size is 2,400KB and the type is Video Clip. | Slim (4633) | ||
| 241801 | 2004-06-05 09:47:00 | It appears that the .avi extension is used for other files than movie/video files. The AVG .avi file extension could possibly be Anti-Virus Install and it appears to hold AVG's installation settings. Looks like it is nothing to be worried about anyway. |

| 241802 | 2004-06-05 09:50:00 | slim...by the sounds of it you have "hide extensions of known file types" on. (which is not a good thing imho) the file is not a video. just a file used by avg which just happens to have the same file extentions as a movie file. | tweak'e (174) | ||

It makes no difference whether extensions are viewable or not. Because it is an .avi file Windows has associated it file with Windows Media Player and lists the file type as a video clip file hence the confusi on. It is obviously a rare exception to the .avi file association that Windows makes but not something to be concerned about in this case. |
