Download Avest and it found two viruses which AVG appears to have missed :
Win32 Popcapload and Win32.CTX !!!

Will stick with it for a while still tempted to go for NTL netguard but I am not sure how it compares to avest ???

I got this from the avg forum site

"delete the files in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data\upd7bin to see if that helps again or not.

You need to show hidden files to see that


It may just be a statistical coincedence but I do find it odd that there is a large number of users on the NTL network report the one solution that does work for them is the one clearing the update directory. Being that ISP is such a large one, I bet that is just a coincedence but it is worth noting. "

Works for my avg .I even re-installed it twice before finding that answer

I had the auto-update function stop working on my wifes laptop (xp home/f-secure) after using spybot S&D to clear a load of spyware......sys restore fixed the problem (and was more careful about what I killed with S&D after that!)
