Default AVG 8.0 Update Problem
Today's latest update is giving me an error saying there's a .bin file missing? Anyone else having this same thing going on? I was just wondering before I try re-installing AVG.

I was having this issue at work today on a computer we were setting up for a customer. After an uninstall and reinstall w/ the same issue, we called him up and recommended Avast in its place (he doesn't believe in paying for anti-viruses :shrug: ). Worked fine.

I just assumed it was the usual AVG glitches w/ certain configs, but I guess it's more widespread.

I've had it happen before, usually a corrupt file on their update server. Wait it out and it usually sorts itself out.
