Saw it this morning and was in no mood to check out what was wrong, so I just deleted AVG and installed Antivir to be rid of the hassle:)<br /> I've already reversed it.<br /> And if you wonder why I just don't keep Antivir, well, I like Antivir too, but it has no emailscanner in the free version and AVG does. That's why I stick to AVG.</p> <p>Best wishes!<br /> Sarah. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43281 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:48:33 +0000 raphoenix 43281@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>SarahJames,</p> <p>This was a simple one. Sometimes one can tell when many people are having the same problem by just observing the number (hits) views on the topic. I saw they were going up plus checked out a few other forums real fast. We had close to 1000 views on this topic.</p> <p>Kindest Regards,<br /> Rick P. &#9827; </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43273 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:27:52 +0000 SarahJames 43273@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Should have seen this sooner! I had the same problem, so I uninstalled AVG and installed Antivir.<br /> I'll reverse that:) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43252 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:48:40 +0000 raphoenix 43252@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>jraparrish,</p> <p>Thank You for Your Nice Comment.</p> <p>Appears AVG has repaired their server side issue.</p> <p>Kindest Regards,<br /> Rick P. &#9827; </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43239 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 17:44:59 +0000 GaardCeteru 43239@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Indeed, I turned on my computer this morning and there was no more "A .bin file is missing" notification. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43223 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 16:10:53 +0000 jonhill987 43223@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Apparently it has been a problem for everyone, I had it as well.

You were right on target, it is a software update/server side issue. That is why I love this forum, lots of geeks that love techonolgy. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43150 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:55:51 +0000 GaardCeteru 43150@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>well then I guess we're back to where we started and have no idea what's wrong with AVG lol </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43147 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:15:45 +0000 RobCr 43147@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>It is not a problem with Vista updates.<br /> I have XP Pro.<br /> I have had automatic updates switched off for 999 years, so it aint that.<br /> Rob </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problems-with-avg-antivirus#post-43143 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 03:47:42 +0000 GaardCeteru 43143@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have the same issue.</p> <p>It might be a problems with Win.Vista updates since I did updated, but that was yesterday.. shouldn't the problem have showed up yesterday?
