Thanks for the reply. Here's part of what I emailed them (which was bounced back like I said).
-------------- No where is there any "Register" link, only "Login" links! "Goto: Forum List . Back To List . Search . Log In Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum." It says this at the top of the forum page: http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/ "If you are not using AVG Free, please download and install AVG Free Edition and then go to the Information menu and select Register Online." And there is no "Register online" area in AVG AS! anti-spyware program. So I can't register therefore I cannot post in the forums to ask about this. I can't believe no one is mentioning this at the forums! I do see though how to update it manually there at least. Ah I just found this http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?9,94728,backpage=4,sv= , they FAIL TO TELL YOU that with the free version you have to update it manually! BUT, that's after 30 days and it's only been installed about a week. So Ben, if yours has been installed for more than 30 days that's why yours won't update. But it seems update issues are common with AS. Manual update info is here: http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?9,98099,backpage=1,sv= Well I tried the manual update and that doesn't even work! Still shows updates are from 4-26. Maybe, hopefully, that was the last updates they had. Can anyone vouch for that? -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com http://Computer-Hardware-Sales-Consumer-Electronics-Sales.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" Did you register through the program itself? http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/ says this: "The AVG Free Forum has been created to provide users of AVG Free with a platform to share knowledge and discuss issues with other knowledgeable AVG Free users. Registration is required in order to be able to submit questions and issues. However, even non-registered users are able to participate in read-only mode.

I have updated AVG free manually in the past whenever it locks up, there are good instructions here http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?1,27796,27796 I stopped recommending AVG Free as there were too many false positives and have switched over to Avast! for free protection http://www.avast.com/eng/free_virus_protectio.html or NOD32 for paid protection http://www.eset.com/ Customers of mine who did move over to paid version of AVG have reported completely different experiences over those of the free stuff and the support is complete as well.
