I am running the free edition of AVG.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade it, which I have not done in awhile.
I do not run the TSR, I only scan when I feel a need, because I rarely
download anything and never open attachments except pictures.
Yesterday I left the upgrade run and download about 14 megs, I am on
dialup, so this took quite awhile. I had to drive to someones house
because I could not use my phone. When I got home, it was finished
and asked me to reboot. I let it reboot and was too tired to go back
on the computer. I just turned it on and started the scan. Partway
through, it stopped and said no viruses found, but left some red
symbols. Clicking on them, it said my virus base is dated 4-06-07.
WTF, I thought I just upgraded it......
What the heck was that 14 megs all about.
When it asked me if I wanted to upgrade, I thought it would just
upgrade the definitions file, and had upgraded the program version
yesterday. WRONG..... This time I wants me to download almost 18
megs.
I selected NO. I tried to close the program and it said the scan was
not finished and I could not close it. About that time I got pissed
off enough and just did a manual reboot of the computer.
What the f**k is wrong with this program? Has it gone bonkers, or has
it just become this retarded? I'm about ready to send the whole thing
to the trash. The only reason I have not done this already is because
I am not sure what else to run. I'm not spending any money on it,
because I am really not too worried about viruses since I run Win98
and rarely download. Downloading this POS is the most downloading
this computer has done in a long time.
Maybe I am better just removing the program and starting all over?????
It's seriously fudged....
I never really wanted to upgrade the program anyhow, just the
definitions, or virus base as they call it.
The listed version is 7.5.446. Whether thats new or old, I have no
clue. This is all turning into much too much work, and time. I
really dont even want a newer version, I am sure it's more bloat like
most newer software, which I why I stick with Win98. If I cant just
upgrade the definitions, what good is the whole program....?
Your still on dialup? lol Where do you live? in a cave in Afghanistan?
uninstall it then download the new version from www.free.grisoft.com (save
to disk)
and you should only have one update after that.
install this first and it will resume your download for you should you get
bumped off your ah dial up connection.
