Does anybody here use AVG? If so, can you help please?
I can't update at all. I get connection and update list, but as soon as I click update it closes the server connection then looks for different establishments (1 & 2) which fail. My AVG is now completely out of date!
Any ideas what is causing this failure, and have you had a similar problem? I have googled (albeit not much) and got a link to check my registry. That link destroyed all of my registry setup and I have had to redefine it all!...

You might try uninstalling the program and reinstalling it with the latest application. Once you do that, be sure and do an update for all the definitions. I don't think it comes updated when you install. If you have a key code be sure and record it before uninstalling. I am sure you will need it. The free version is no problem as you know. I have mine set to update automatically.

Best bet is to delete it completely. it has ruined many blitz games for me when it randomly starts downloading its updates right at a critical point of the game.
You know you can set the update time for a time for when it won't interfere with your chess, like when you first boot up.

Nah, I was just playing on uchess which crashes at the slightest movement by another programme.
But then again that was when I used to use internet explorer's browser too. I know one thing, the best thing that ever happened for me was firefox. Thanks to the suggestions from people here at RHP. If not for that I might still be using the dinosaur explorer browser from MS. I was pretty hard headed about the switch over too. Not everything about the good old days was all that good.

1) Download latest installation file from:

2) Run this file and follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted, select option "Repair installation"

In case the update still does not work, please go to AVG -> menu Information -> Technical Support by E-mail. This way, some detailed AVG information will be sent to us for analysis.
