I have been running AVG Free Edition for around 6 months. Awhile back it
did detect a variant of the "BugBear" virus, I forget which it was. It was
unable to clean it itself but finding the right manual method worked just
fine. No detections to date beyond that one.
I did notice that my Detection file was dated October. Two months out of
date. The auto update stopped updating and when I ran it manually, the
program kept telling me "detections are up do date, please reboot your
machine" Since I knew this was incorrect, I uninstalled AVG, manually
deleted what was left of the directory and reinstalled again.
I reinstalled and now my detection file is dated 12/18/2003 which is the
current. But the information screen is telling me I'm running a Pentium 4
system with Windows 2000. That's wierd since I'm running XP Pro SP1, and
have an AMD based system. Is something I need to be concerned with?
Thanks in advance
