At a computer at work we have AVG antivirus installed.
The problem with it is it can't update.
Any suggestions on what I can check here with computersettings and such?

Just to clarify are you running avg 7.5 or avg 8?

If its the former support for downloads ran out in 2008.

If you have the FREE version, you can download and then manually install updates from here.

If you have the full version you can download and manually install from here (You need to go to the bottom of the page where you can select 'update' and then download. (useful if you manage a number of PC's as they can all update from the same location on your network).

There are known issues with AVG and updating, see this support link for more information.

AVG 8. Will try if the computer is free, the intern is on it at the moment.
He was complaining about a slow computer when working.
While working he set his scan to on so it was slowing down his drawingprogram and when checking his antivirus hasn't been updated for a while. :doh:

By the way, just to let you all know, there was a bug with a previous AVG (can't remember the version) which appended to its log file and eventually became MASSIVE.  This, on smaller hard disks filled up the drive and consequently slowed the PC rightd down.  So if you get a problem like that, check the size of the log file.
