Patience is a virtue, an elusive virtue

Please, let us all gain clarity about an issue that has plagued some of us for the past several days. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, at the beach house wrote or is responsible for AVG Antivirus. It is highly respected and utilized here, but please quit assuming it is somehow my responsibility because the people at AVG are flooded with last minute upgraders and therefore, the virus definitions are hard to download. It amazes me that when the beach house recommends a free utility of this magnificence that everyone assumes we are responsible, getting paid money (NOT!), are the whipping boy, etc. Stop your bitching and be grateful that Grisoft makes this super program available for free. After everyone gets through upgrading things will go back to normal.

This morning I arose early to try and download the virus definitions for about the 30th or 40th time. Finally, I uninstalled the beta test software version of AVG 7 and downloaded the newest AVG 7 Free Edition. It still hesitated and tried not to update the definitions. Finally they were downloaded. Now don't rush out and start uninstalling and reinstalling. This is mentioned because everyone should understand that we have to be patient and not do anything drastic. Some folks are not experiencing problems and good for them. The rest of us must be calm and give thanks that we've been able to use this great protection utility for years and at no cost! Sheesh! Things will be fine.
