...missing. Confused? My AVG free 8.0 sent me a little window lettintg me know a .bin file is missing. Confused, I went into the overview and the update manager has a ".bin file missing" next to it with a red x by it, and apparently I'm not protected.

What does this mean and how do I fix it?


HELP ME!!!

Re-installation will not solve the problem.

AVG are working hard on patching this problem up ready for the next version/patch.

Below is what was written on the AVG forum by the AVG team about this problem. Your best bet is to wait until they release a "Fix/Patch/Updated Version".

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.


Also... for those user that did report the issue... thanks for the info.

AVG are working on it.
You are still protected even if the main window says you aren't.
