AVG
5 Answers
I am using an Acer Aspire laptop with a Windows Vista operating system.
I have AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition and the icon in the bottom right hand corner of my screen has a warning triangle over it.
When I open up the interface both the Anti-virus and Anti-spyware logos have the message "VDB check has failed" next to them.
I've clicked 'Fix All' and the update process begins and seems to get nearly to the end but then terminates and the message 'General Error' appears (within AVG).
Any help on how to fix it would be much appreciated!
