No. Really all I meant was that I thought if I typed 'Quote="from the AVG Download screen"', enclosed in square brackets, that the text following up to '/quote', also enclosed in square brackets, would be displayed with a header that simply said "from the AVG Download screen" rather than 'originally posted by...'

Anyway the real point of the message was that the download takes so long. Either that screen isn't updating properly, or somehow it is forcing the download to slow down to 1 byte per second and would take upwards of 20 hours to get a 500 some KB file.

At least the server download.grisoft.cz doesn't time out after 8 - 12 minutes like the other servers.

Anyway, there obviously is still a problem with downloading through the Download Manager.

What up with avg ?

Welcome to WinDrivers, Hawker.

What up with AVG in what way?

If it's updates for AVG free not working, I do know the free update server is unresponsive sometimes, it gets going again after a while, or the manual update download is working for me:

Went to 2 clients today that got this icq virus from few days ago, And their AVG wasn't updated for few days.
Tried to uninstall and then install a fresh AVG on one of the computers, But it gave me error 1053 during install, That means that he couldn't install the update module.
Installed Avast Free on both computer.
On the computer i couldn't install the AVG again, The internet surfing is slow, So i guess i'll re-image it or re-format it.
The other one, found some WAREZOV trojan in some of the files after the first graphical boot (It ran a pre-graphical scan too and found some UPX trojans), and it kept giving me that E1.dll file infected with trojan for few times and even that i've choose to delete the file, The message came back few times.I rebooted it and it seems ok.
Any suggestions regarding the returning E1 ? I'm afraid that problem is not solved.

Thanks CCT. Tried to search for the Serv file manually as suggest on a news site, But could not find it.It seems that every other AV company has it's name for this sucker....
Told my client to call me tommorow after a through AV scan using AVAST.....Cross my fingers....

I am trying to uninstall avg free but keep getting this message (Installer initialization failed due to the following error:
Undefined error: Initialization of the setup data file failed.
The program needs to be updated to support the version of the file. File version is 7.0.52 but program version is 7.0.50.) now what do I do to get this avg out of my system..thanks any help is good help

edit:Welcome to WinDrivers:

If that is a standard install type and eventually ends up in Windows Add/Remove programs, here's what I have found works when things get outa hand.

Download the latest version of AVG freeware and install it - it may remove the older one or simply overwrite it.

THEN reboot and go to Add/Remove and delete it it from there.

If it won't overwrite the earlier version until you remove it, either, did you keep the install executable or zip/rar (I always do)?

Hey thanks for the info..it worked... avg is history..thanks again

i need new trial anti virus

Welcome to Windrivers lorena

ALL the antivirus companies do a trial
There are several companies that do free versions - AVG being one of them and AVAST is another. I have been using AVAST over AVG recently because it has a number of other features rather than just plain anitivirus.
