AVG 8.0 Help!

[sm100378]

Hello,

I have recently upgraded to AVG 8.0. It works great just like the previous versions except for one thing; the problem being I get a notification everytime I turn on my computer or open the laptop screen from sleep telling me (with a !) that "You may not be protected, Some components report an error". Basically it is showing my update manager needs a restart. Why does it do this everytime the computer is active? This never was an issue with previous versions.


Thank you!

Yeah, i have the same problem, recently (past week), AVG updates and then wants a reboot, i think it is an update error.

Me too. I've got the same problem

Might be worth contacting AVG / Grisoft?

Maybe. Or maybe they recieve mails every second from people who have this problem. Let's wait for the next iportant update.

 

[alexyu]

Just virus database updates.... I'm gonna send a mail to grisoft.

 

[alexyu]

Done

I have never had this problem. I have AVG Free 8.0

but my friend has 7.5 and his Firewall always stops.

Did you follow that advice and take a look at the FAQ? I see a probable solution there: http://www.grisoft.com/ww.faq.num-1444#faq_1444

Basically, try downloading and using the newest version to do a repair reinstall of AVG.

I did it, but it won't take my free version licence key.... so i need a paided version, so i'm downloading the new AVG 8.0 free version and then i'll do the repair installation of that

It didnt request the key for me. I downloaded paid version and clicked repair.
I'm restarting now to see what happens.

 

[alexyu]

f**k !! didnt work. still same problem.

 

[aysebean]

fix?

uninstall it completely and then try reinstalling it

 

[cohen]

uninstall it completely and then try reinstalling it

but then, if we do that, we will go to update it and it will still do the same thing, i think it is an update that isn't installing properly.

It would be worth uninstalling it completely and reinstalling with the latest downloaded version. That way, that particular update won't need to be installed.
