While avg doesn't seem to be browser dependent, I've found if my explorer 6 browser is in working offline mode, and I connect to the net manualy, avg will give the message that you are getting.
I'm not familar with Opera, but if it works in a off line mode, this maybe your problem why avg wont allow automatic updates.

good luck,
bob

102134 2002-12-05 02:35:00 After some deep digging in the AVG Helpfile I came across the following:

Update Manager is automatically started by AVG Control Center – or you can run it manually using AVG Control Center, Update Manager Tab.
Note – if you want to use this feature, you need:
· to have installed and correctly set up your Internet connection
· to have installed and correctly set up Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or newer on your computer.
AVG Update Manager receives most of its settings from Microsoft Internet Explorer – for example telephone numbers, passwords etc.

I installed IE 4, which I still had on an old CD and He Presto ! Automatic Update works.

This information may also be of use to you Pilot.

Greetings,
Antonia

Glad you got thinks going, funny though I have been without IE for years (used 98Lite) and AVG works fine.
Maybe its the settings IE installs in Windows??
