AVG AntiVirus Free....
 

ok, i have been using this for some time now, love it. on to my problem. i haven't played a game online in months, so i decided to close all ports on my router that i didn't need (so i thought). i went to update AVG and it couldn't connect. does anyone know what port AVG needs open to grab the updates?

thanks!

I haven't been able to connect either.. (80% of the time) it's probably not your router... they just suck...

ohok, i've never had a problem before i closed down the ports.

thanks.

well you could try opening them again to see if it's that, but all of my computers have had that same issue and I haven't changed anything.

(it does work SOMETIMES [not often] though..)

i dont know the exact port, but mine updates everytime I hit update =/

then again my hardware firewall is on Low and I only have XP firewall.

jason was right, i guess their server must have been slammed. i got updated. thanks for the help.

yeah, ive got that too and it couldnt connect for a while, but its fine now.

of course I was :devil:

My guess is that they got hit with a *laugh* worm... we had some worm at work last week too... I'm not a net admin though so I don't know the details of it..

We never *had* any worm or any other infection of any kind. PHPbb was just being slammed by other morons who let their PC get infected with virii.
