Are AVG daily updates failing for anybody else?
My daily updates have been failing all week. There's no info about this on the website. I might try to uninstall/reinstall, but I thought I'd check first to see if anybody else is experiencing the same problem.

4. It's working now.
Odd, I've been trying manual updates all week, and it still hasn't worked. Then, I post in the lounge and I decide to try one more manual update before an uninstall/reinstall, and it works. I guess in order for the AVG update manager to work, you occasionally have to look like a dumbass in the lounge. :dunce:

3. I had a brief problem, this past week. Had to manually update
a couple of times and the problem went away.

5. It's been happening to me too.
It used to just go about it's business quietly and now, about every other day, I have to manually update it.

8. Yes, had a problem last night. I've uninstalled it anyway. Moved to Avast.
I'm dissapointed as hell in 8.0. The avgsrv.exe (I think; can't remember what the file name was now, sorry) was taking up wayyyyyyyy to much CPU for me.
But I've only had Avast for about a day, so I'll have to see how it stacks up.

9. Let me know how that works out for you.
The manual update worked for me shortly after I posted, but I've been hearing good things about Avast lately.

11. Sure will.
I know already that certain scans do take longer, but unlike AVG; you can choose how to scan; you can do a light scan, a regular one, or a thorough one. That one takes quite a long time.
I also noticed that at the moment, Avast is taking up less CPU, of course.
We'll see what happens after the scan. I have to keep pausing it for other reasons, lol.
