I am running avg 8 under windows vista for months. Today I get message
"a .bin file is missing", when trying to update new files.

I tried reinstalling and uninstalling program several times. It didnt
work.

I tried system restore. It didn't work either.

What caused tis problem and what is the solution?

I am very pleased with this program and want to retain it.

Same here. Apparently AVG is working on the problem.

Hi, meteore,

I'm having the same problem you had with AVG 8.0 and Vista. What did
you do to get AVG to update? Any help is appreciated.

AVG corrected the problem. You should be able to update now.

Again the same problem today August 28.

The error is AVG's responsibility.

get same message after 10 attempts. connection with update server
failed.

suggest waiting a few days before trying again.
