AVG again- for my sister-and a spybot q

Mar 7, 2004 12:17AM PST

she cant get the updates either- i tried helping her over the internet get it fixed- that went way over her head like it did mine- i told her that maybe uninstalling avg and updating it today might fix it? or will that still give her only the one server to download from?

also i cant get spybot to update or run- it just stops responding- i wanted to reinstall it but when i go to add/remove to remove it- all it does is start spybot- and freezes. any suggestions?

Lisa,

thanks for the feedback Happy

She can download The Cleaner from Moosoft - is a trojan cleaner and is free for 30 days!

Lisa, and you only have to look IN your Spybot as you click on update at the top you see Unido (Europe) and next to it a little tiny arrow - click on it and look for EON Australia. That link always works for downloading the update.

Wishing You all the best and speedy recovery ! Chicken Soup Happy
