AVG Free not connecting to internet for updates

Mar 2, 2004 4:30PM PST

I went to the site and downloaded the BIN file and put it in the updates directory. When I open the control panel or the AV program, it still shows March 1 definitions (not March 3).
What am I doing wrong?

Is your computer clock set to correct date and time? Only time I had that problem with AVG, that was causing it.

scroll down til you see this:

Differential updates past 516
AVG 6.0 now supports smaller update files! The capability to support smaller updates has been introduced in update version 516. Going forward, all AVG 6.0 updates will be differential updates from version 516. For this reason, all AVG 6.0 systems must be updated to version 516. In order to perform any AVG 6.0 update to a version higher than 516, it will be necessary to have previously performed update 516. Check the version you currently have by selecting the "Information" tab in AVG Control Center - "Program Version." If the version number displayed is lower than 6.0.516, it will be necessary to run the update 516 first.
