Re: AVG update crashes system?

Well, maybe others are having the same problems as you because here's what
happened when mine tried to update.

It goes to connect and then tells me that the requested file cannot be found
on the server and to contact AVG. So I wonder if they've had a ton of
complaints and they have removed it to fix it. Let's hope, because the last
thing I need is to have to work on a computer this weekend.
