Use Avira at Free-AV.com instead.

It ranks better in tests and is still free.

Try Avast anti-virus. Its free and works well.

It just delays the update of virus definitions. Doesn’t affect the operation of the program.

Looks like AVG caught Norton-itus. It used to be a pretty good trial-ware alternative to NAV, but they have bloated it up pretty bad.

Earlier tonight I got a huge virus message and sent to the vault.

What else should I do?

My wife's computer got the same looking message two days ago and then the hard drive crashed.

I still like it, I disabled one section “link scanner” and it works more smoothly now... Not like I go anywhere other than FR and my Christian guild’s web site anyhoo...

You can do it manually if you go to this page and download the AVI:270.6.4 binfile to a folder (like c:/program files/ AVG/AVG8), then from the tools menu in AVG, choose update from directory and point it to where you saved the file.

This fix is from yahoo answers (posted by intc_escapee).
If you can’t wait for grisoft to fix it this works.

1) go to »www.grisoft.com/ww.download-update
2) make a directory on your desktop called AVG
3) download AVI: 270.6.4
4) download IAVI: / 1616
5) move the dowloaded files to the directory you made called AVG
6) launch AVG
7) select tools -> update from directory
8) select the directory called AVG where you put the downloads
