Default 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...

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..)

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.
