A .bin file is missing

[chetfan]

My AVG Free Edition 8 has, when, I try to Update it, come up with a message stating - ''A .bin file is missing''.
Have tried uninstalling then re-installing to no avail, in the meantime I'm unprotected.
Would appreciate any help!!

I have that too .Will have to wait for more advice not quite sure why this is happening.

mine too, although I'm trying Sophos out at present (in tandem with AVG) as a possible alternative to AVG.

Confirmation that the problem is with AVG, as suspected by the fact that everyone was affected at the same time, and not the individual users: This is copied from the AVG Free Forum.

"Currently the update for AVG Free v8 is corrupted... you will have to wait for AVG Technologies to address the issue with the update.

Reporting the issue again by other users here will not do any good util it is resolved.

The updates that your AVG currently have will still provide the protection it is setup to detect. In otherwords, just getting this update will not make your AVG Free ineffective and as soon as AVG Tech resolves the issue you will be able to update to the current virus definitions at that time.

So in short... please do not post to report the issue, its already known. Also please be patient until AVG Technologies can address the issue."

Wendilla, the AVG is working fine now, and thanks very much for all your help.
