Just wondering, has anyone come up with a way to get the auto-update to actually run? Using task scheduler or something.

141942 2003-05-07 02:03:00 I never had a problem by scheduling it within AVG. It is in the Update Manager tab.

141943 2003-05-07 03:23:00 Ditto here too Chris, mine checks for updates at 7.46 am each morning if the comp is on at that time as it usually is. Why 7.46am I cant remember, I just leave it at that. Terry Porritt (14)

Thats the problem . It only runs if the computer is running at the specified time (7:30pm), on the specific day .

In the two years I've been running AVG it would seem I've never met both conditions .

I was hoping someone had found a more reliable way to schedule updates .

141945 2003-05-07 04:20:00 Well Ive set my scheduler to update if the data base is older than 2 days, and to repeat in 1 day. That gives a pretty frequent schedule, and the time in the morning is usually just after when I fire up and check email and things whilst my porridge is cooling down :) Terry Porritt (14)
141946 2003-05-07 05:18:00 You could get your computer to wake up at the appropriate time, since you, unlike Terry, haven't got punctual porridge .

But 7 . 30 pm would be a late breakfast . :D

141947 2003-05-07 05:31:00 I manually download the updated virus defs for AVG as
I only use this AV as a backup app,but like to keep it up to date!

I always know when Grisoft is updating as I have a little app that
notifies me when Grisoft makes a change on their Web-page!

I am currently using the AV app"AVAST4.0" (Awil Trade)which
can only be updated manually,with the client notifying it's users
as updates are released.Usually every 2/3 days!

I usually alert PressF1 users when updates are available from Grisoft
as they can be a little irregular .(unlike Nortons,who update their files
every Wednesday!)

Cheers,Kiwitas,;-)
