I have Grisoft's AVG 6.0, and I've tried to update it. At first, I got the
message that the program was up-to-date and needed nothing. This week, I
haven't gotten the "do not update" message, so went to the site to update.
Each time I've updated, I have been downloading 45 minutes and there is at
least 1 hour left to the download. That sounds like something more than a
download, however I am clicking on "update." Does anyone know what's
happening?
