Teddy,
I have no problem updating manually, and I've done it once or twice. But if
you know what time the automatic daily update is supposed to happen, and
then a few minutes after that time you open the AVG interface and check the
information window that comes up (the one that prevents you from accessing
the menus until you Alt Tab), arrow down to see when the last update
happened, and you will see that it happened. That's what I have discovered.
Hope that helps. The program is designed to do the update by itself. I was
just expressing insecurity because I wasn't sure about this, as the silence
during this operation was a new feature.

Is this the way it's supposed to be? I know some people used to complain
about their work being interrupted when AVG V. 7.5 performed it's daily
update and hung up your work for a few seconds while reporting that it was
updating and then giving you the option to close the last dialogue before it
closed by itself. I never minded that too horribly, myself. Just sort of got
used to it.
But now I find myself a little uneasy, because it seems that in the
redesign, they fixed it so that when AVG does its daily update of the virus
database and whatever else, it doesn't display any notice of this at all.
This morning, just to be sure, I learned to check that information screen
that loads when the program launches, and found that it did say the update
had been done and everything was up to date. I suppose I'll find the same
thing tomorrow, if I look at that screen after the time for the update.
But is this just the way it works now, and I should just chill and not feel
obligated to check every day?
One more thing that struck me oddly. I ran my first scan with V. 8 a little
afterward, and in the report that came up when the scan was finished, among
the usual items about how many files were scanned and how many threats found
and what was done with them and that stuff, there was a line that said that
the last update had been at the time given for the completion of the scan.
I'm thinking "Huh? It ran another update just as it finished its scan?
Really? Why?"
Maybe I misunderstood what the wording means in that line? Or? Anybody know?
thanks.
