No connection
Nov 6, 2008 5:16AM PST

Anyone getting a "The connection with update server has failed" box.?
I have tried for an hour to update but still get the same box. In the old Avg there was an update folder in the grisoft file into which you could download from the AVG site. There does not seem to be one for avg8 free.

Any ideas?

Either the AVG server is busy
Nov 6, 2008 10:05AM PST

or it is down.

I have periodically run into this phenomenon in the past but after a couple of tries it does connect.

Today it was down most of the day and only just back up to receive the second update for the day.
