AVG 8.0.233 Update memory error

For those fraction of people who use AVG and have been getting an error when updating "Update failed, general error - not enough memory, write error". I have been having this problem for a while, and am pretty sure it had nothing to do with not enough memory. Did consider to be a general problem that they'd update and it would go away... however, it didn't.

And the threads on their forums haven't helped either. Yay.

But I have found a solution, so am putting it on the web, hope it gets some kind of hit on google so others can find this option. It was really easy.

Go to their update download area. Download the AVG update for Jan 15. Put it in a directory somewhere. Then, in AVG, go to Tool, Update from Directory (as the instruction on the page say), select the directory where you put the file and... cross fingers (if you like that sort of thing)... wait... wait... wait some more... and update without error! Need to reboot, but it's now good.

Finally!

Hi James, maybe Avg has removed the Jan 15 update. I can find only Jan 25 :-(

Odd. When I look at the page, I'm still seeing Jan 15.

Maybe they now have a better update? Would try Update From Directory with that file anyway.
