Any ideas why AVG will not update today?
I have gone to their help section and cannot find the answer. Should I un-install
and reinstall it?

This computer has been very slow the last week or two. I have updated everything, cleared everything I can think of. Done scan disk, disk defrag, temp files and all that. Still slow.

I probably should install an run CCleaner but I am always afraid to do that. I don't know what I'm looking at when the results are posted. With my old computer I deleted everything indicated with CCleaner and wondered if I deleted anything I should not have. That computer was messed up anyway, I got rid of it because coping was very frustrating.

Now have HP Pavilion 763,
Windows XP, SP3
IE7
and plenty of memory.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

1. Might just be busy
Try again in 4 or 5 hours. Or, if you're not on v.9, try upgrading...

3. I'm posting my review of MSE (Microsoft Security essentials) today in GD
you may be interested. Oh and I am an avid user of AVG.

4. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
occasionally their update server gets bogged down. If it won't update tomorrow, then I'd check settings. Get Malwarebytes Antimalware.
