as well as Symantec antivirus on my pc I also have AVG 8.0 Free.
Tonight I went to update the anti virus and anti spyware using the update manager and I keep getting a message " A .bin file is missing ".I've no idea whats happend,I've uninstalled it and downloaded a fresh version from AVG's site but still get the same message once AVG is installed,anyone got any idea's??????
 
Get the .bin manually.

1) go to http://www.grisoft.com/ww.download-update
2) make a directory on your desktop called AVG
3) download AVI: 270.6.4
4) download IAVI: / 1616
5) move files to the AVG directory you made
6) launch AVG
7) select tools -> update from directory
8) select the AVG directory as the update source

Fantastic zpos,tried that and my AVG is up to date and working fine,,,thanks a lot buddy
 
Man, that's gotta be slow!

Get rid of Norton/Symantec.
Hiya Swinnie,I got AVG & Symantec cause I figured I get twice the protection,as for speed I've only had my current system a matter of a couple of weeks and compaired to my old pc it flies even with both programes running!!!

My new system is the Ultima Accelerator 4850 got from OCUK,,,,now compaired that to my old system which was a Dell P4 3.06Gh,2Mb ram and a 7600 gt card.AVG slowed the Dell down some what but doesnt seem to affect the new set up.
What is CCleaner Slim,is it better than AVG and would my system run any faster?By the way,its AVG 8.0 Free I'm using.

Two AV running isn’t a great idea but if you must run two have one for real time and one for on demand only
Hiya Tonyf1971,
I've taken some of your advice and switched Symantec to on demand only and left AVG on auto.
