On Fri I bought the AVG 8.0 antivirus from Office Depot. The first thing I tried to do after installation was update my virus database,my internet explorer said that the "connection failed". I thought AVG.com site was down cause every website I go too I have no problems pulling up but EVERYTHING related to AVG.com will NOT show up. I am connected to the internet thru a sprint pc modem card for my laptop. Why can I not go to [avg.com?] Does anyone know because it will not do any updates I have turned firewalls off and back on thinking it was blocked went to tools and advanced settings all that but nothing works!
AVG.com will not come up on my laptop
