I have been using AVG for years now; and installed 8.0 about 2-3 months ago. It has worked great up until lately; every once in a while I will get a message that a .bin file is missing, and in the last COUPLE of days I get pop ups stating that my update connection is inactive................anybody got any ideas? my system is XP home and works real good, except for this annoying issueUpdate it and the error should go away. This happened with an update a few weeks back and has been fixed.I have it updated and this keeps coming back........I don't know...Reinstall. http://free.avg.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-editionThanks, Evilfantasy, that is what I am doing; I deleted it TODAY and tried Avira; and it looks pretty good, but I like the AVG format better so I am going to reinstall it. Incidently, it did a good job of identifying some "MALWARE" similarities for some games my wife downloaded from Big Fish Games. I contacted BFG the other day and was told that some of the AV programs sometimes RECOGNIZE them as virus prone because of similar coding.

thanks for the responseQuote
