Hey,

My avg anti virus programs been acting wierd

for a few days now i havent been able to update my virus defs,

didnt think anything of it until i tried to get to their webpage, its very hard to load it, it takes me 3-6 tries to load every page and the pictures never work.

are they overloaded or is it something about my computer

Since you asked, I checked. It took a little longer than usual, but I was able to get my updates.

Mybe it's just their servers.

I think its been their servers. I wasn't able update for awhile and only got through today

steveincolumbus · 03-06-2004, 12:25 PM

I had noticed mine hadn't updated since the 29th, but it works today, but it is slow, only 10K down, and i have a 5 mb connection here at the office

03-06-2004, 02:25 PM

still cant update as of today... guuur

Hanabal · 03-06-2004, 03:06 PM

i got through after 30 mins yesterday, but its screwed today as well, but why all of a sudden

Arc101 · 03-06-2004, 03:06 PM

Just tried it now and had no problems getting the latest update

My last update (3/5) was pretty big. I'm just guessing, but I would imagine with all the virus paranoia running rampant and the size of this update their servers are probably jammed tight.

I couldn't get through either at first, so I browsed around and found this...

Quote:

1- find the "url.ini" file in your AVG folder.
2- open it up in wordpad/notepad whatever...
3- delete all that crap and add this and save it.

[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz
2=ftp.grisoft.com
3=www.grisoft.com

[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
2=ftp.grisoft.com/pub/softw/60/fe/
3=http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe/
Actual URL=3

4- Now when you open AVG and update you'll have three choices instead of the usual one in the drop down box. One of them is bound to work

It worked for me, so, I thought I'd share it.

souzafone · 03-06-2004, 05:08 PM
