Anyone getting the error message "invalid binary file" when trying to update? I haven't been able to update for about a week now and i don't now what to do. Also i don't have the fre version of AVG 8 but a registerd paid version.
No, on my AVG8 Pro I'm using on this machine I've had no errors when updating at all. Are you trying to auto update it, or using the button in the app?

I have it set to auto update every morning at the same time. Funny thing happened last night though. It looks like it updated at about 10:30 pm and was sucessful and now i just manually updated it and it worked again. Don't ask me what happened to get it working again because i haven't done anything to fix it but i'm not complaining.

Re: AVG 8 Free Problems

Anyone encounter screen freezes since installing AVG8? This is on XP. Frustrating, losing data not saved! Any advice appreciated. AVG may not be the problem but I'm suspicious since the problem seems only to have occurred since I switched to AVG8. I see there's an AVG9.01 - will that be better, I wonder?

Can these same tactics be done with the pro version as well?I didn't mean to ask this question in the free section.

After installing AVG 8.x, and running scan I have removed it
due to the following issues:
It flagged 17 files in my unzipped folder of "UBCD for WIN"
(Ultimate boot CD for Windows) as malware, then proceeded
to delete several of the files as well as move the rest to
the virus vault, with no apparent way to tell AVG that I
didn't want those files removed.

I should be given the final call as to which legitimate tools are malware and should be removed, not AVG.

So, it has been uninstalled and I've gone back to ver 7.x,
where this is not an issue.
