Well it seems after the last few days with no issues with AVG Free (8.5.426 or 9.0.704) there is a snag. My AVG will not update the update says failed because of ether missing .bin file or .crt file…

Here is the fix I have been getting so many e-mails about. So if you guys need anymore clarification please let me know but this should be as straight forward as it can possible get…Enjoy…

I Would use the ‘Repair‘ option in the installation process of course to do that you need a non-corrupted version of AVG Free install file.. I would highly recommend using the latest (9.0.704) install file….

A. Download & Save the latest AVG Free Anti-Virus installation package from this link download.com. I have downloaded the installation file myself and it works just fine but at times it can be a bit slow. (-Please Note: Will Depend On Your Internet Connection-)

-Please make sure you download install file to your DESKTOP-

B. Run the AVG Free Install File

C. Choose the Repair option and follow the setup wizard

D. Re-start your computer then try to run the AVG Free Interface Via Desktop Icon

WARNING: Do not ever try to run AVG install file from the Internet as that will always cause issues. THANKS TO AVG FREE FORUM FOR THESE WORDS OF WISDOM

If that fails to work….

Now to check if your AVG install File is corrupted….By using the version 8.5.426 or 9.0.704 install file….

A. Download & save the latest AVG Free installation package from this link version 8.5.426 or 9.0.704 via my favorite source download.com

B. Run the AVG Free install file

C. Choose the Un-install option and follow the setup wizard, when you get to the part to remove user settings, select it.

D. Re-start your computer then..

E. Now reinstall AVG using the setup file you got in step 1 and update.

PLEASE – Disable the other protection programs before you start the AVG installation process as they can prevent AVG Free from installing properly.

    As of today (9-Nov-2009) AVG 9.0 is AVG 9.0.700 and will uninstall AVG 8.5 and close any browsers that are open. The 30 day trial seems to install quite easily under Windows 7-32 or Windows 7-64.
