AVG Missing .bin file
Sunday, August 17, 2008

When I woke up this morning, I opened my PC and got a message from AVG that a .bin file is missing and that my PC is not protected. I had a few friends here last night so I thought they have ruined something or deleted a file without my knowledge.

But I found out from neoseeker.com few simple steps to have this resolved.

I made a couple of screen shots from my AVG user interface before and after I updated using the following steps:

1 - Start up AVG, click "Update Now".
2 - The list of updates is shown in Popup, click on the more information link. A list of updates will be shown.
3 - Click the links and save all updates in a folder except the last one named "IAVI: / 1616" [http://downloadfree.avg.com/update/u7iavi1616oo.bin] - because this is causing the problem.
4 - Cancel the update and instead click on Tools > Update from Directory and go to the folder where you saved the updates. Install these and AVG should be working properly again.

Apparently all those using the free AVG version 8 had this same issue on the same day.
