Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 AVG on my PC constantly shows "update manager disabled". It's only just started doing this. My laptop is fine . I've tried going into "components" and "update manager" but whatever I change it to disappears. There doesn't seem to be an option for update manager in "advanced settings". I'm having to update manually every single day (sometimes more than once) which is a total pain . Any ideas? Fred ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 No ideas as the same thing keeps happening to me. Any advice (Fred) would be gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 That's odd it's happening to us both . Do you have any other computers in the house - are they the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Mines fine. Have you tried looking on the AVG free forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 AVG is now not the best free antivirus anymore. Download AntiVir instead. But delete AVG before installing AntiVir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Really ? Thanks for that, Fred, what would we all do without you . Maybe you could do a thread about that? I'm sure there are a few of us that use AVG . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Really ? Thanks for that, Fred, what would we all do without you I wonder if you can get knighted for services to the internet? Sir Fred.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have AVG on the lappy and it seems to be runnning fine. If you're having problems and want to keep AVG, then I'd suggest taking it off and re-downloading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Mines fine and when i had a problem in the past i deleted then down loaded it again and all fine here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I had that problem throughout October ANH. I contacted AVG and unusually they took ages to reply as they are so busy, but they sent me details on how to fix it. that didn't work (reloading it) so they sent me something else and now it's fine.

Lesley Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Carl never got on with AVG so he ditched it in favour of F-Secure (which isn't free) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have to update mine every day too. I didn't when i had an older version, but since i downloaded a newer AVG i have had to do it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
