I had wondered if it was an MTU issue as we have seen this in the past with new gateways but I was able to ping avg.com with -f -l 1472 so I don't think it was that.

I have found that ver 8 sometimes causes update problems but ver 7.5 seems to work fine.

Generally I've taken to doing a full uninstall & reinstall from a new download.
Once or twice I've even had to use the AVG Remover - found here: http://www.avg.com/download-tools
(normally that sort of brute force is only applied to Norton!)

If anyone else has it fail can they check which gateway they are on - it may be a coincidence that it worked for me after switching gateway when a few minutes earlier it had failed.

I do suspect there is an issue here.

I've been having problems with AVG for weeks now and in fact it's not been working all this time.
It's strange because I can get on to certain sites such as bbc.co.uk and others but not AVG.com and I can't update it at all.
My network connection icon in the bottom right says that a cable is unplugged but it isn't.
It's all very peculiar.
I'm frightened to go on the web without protection.
I've even tried to uninstal AVG using the windows facility which seems to work ok until I go to install it again and it tells me there is another anti virus software installed.
Any ideas?
