Having installed the latest AVG 8.0.101, it updates automatically on a daily basis but keeps asking for a restart which is a PITA. How do I fix
this?
Phil
Install it a few weeks ago have not experienced this.
Me neither
is it still free? i cant seem to find it on their site?
AVG free first option in the three columns.
Update
Getting here: Main Screen -> Main Menu Tools -> Advanced settings -> branch Update
This dialog enables you to specify what should happen when a new update is released and detected by your installation of AVG:
If you prefer not to be disturbed by AVG updates, and always complete the update at computer restart, select the Update upon next computer restart
option.
Please note that this option is not recommended, especially not for users who keep their computers running most of the time, and restart rarely.
If you wish each update to be downloaded and installed as soon as it is released, select the Update immediately option. You can also specify what to
do if the update requires computer restart:
· Require confirmation from the user – you will be asked if it is ok to restart the computer now, and if not, you can postpone the restart.
· Restart immediately – the computer will be restarted automatically; we recommend to check the box Require confirmation to close running applications
(below in this dialog), too, to ensure that you do not lose any unsaved data.
· Complete at next computer restart – the update will be automatically postponed and completed at next restart. Please make sure that you restart as
soon as possible.
In the Additional update options section, you can specify whether AVG should ask you for approval when closing down the computer. That way, you will
be able to check and save your work before closing the applications.
AVG is a free program. It has up until now had free antivirus updates. They have now changed the way they work and are no longer offering updates
for free (As of next week).
If you still wish to use AVG then you'll either have no updates or will have to pay (£39.99 pa i think) for the use of their program.
I have just downloaded Avast and am about to uninstall AVG as Avast does everything and more that AVG does.
It's available from download.com or type Avast into google.
We have the same problem at work (paid for AVG) although at home (free AVG) i dont.
For those of you who don't have the problem, do you often download the antivirus updates? Only reason I ask is that I update everytime my PC is on. Maybe the warning banner is downloaded in with the update's?
regulary download updates,i normally check a few times a day.
