I have tried what other posts have said with no luck. I am not great with computers and need detailed instructions to fix this. Scheduled are used to configure the antivirus software to update in a timeframe where Deep Freeze will not be protecting the workstations. This has the advantage of being one of the less difficult methods to configure but does require that the workstations have a period of time where they will not be used and can be configured to update automatically.

AVG supports the use of a command line function that can be used to trigger antivirus updates when the workstations enter into maintenance mode. To configure Deep Freeze to trigger AVG to update when maintenance mode starts follow the process below:. Install the updated workstation install file on your workstations.

Just uninstall avg and install avast, i was running in to same issue a week ago and had tried out all possible solution that i could have but i did not had any luck. I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times but it was just not making any difference.

Currently i have installed avast and it is appearing to be better, it uses less resource as compared to avg and i haven't faced any issue in installing updates until now.

Switching to avast will be quite worth, i always had issue in installing automatic update for avg, i used to install them manually but this time i wasn't able to do that as well, that's what made me to quit avg.

No problems here yesterday with 2 different installs at two different sites.

Your mileage may vary. Yes it is still slow for me. Also how do you do auto updates in 8 in 7 it worked. Now in 8 I have to right click on the icon and click update.

To set auto update in 8. The update will then happen at that time, or within 2 hours following that time, each day. Quote assets : Now in 8 I have to right click on the icon and click update. In there you can uncheck the box next to "run on computer start-up if task has been missed".

I then set the automatic update to happen at a time when I knew that my computer would be on every day. I've never had a failed update except when AVG messed up their update a couple of months ago. In the rare instance that my computer is turned off at the time I have the update scheduled for then I manually update AVG once my system has loaded. I try to minimize the number of things happening when on boot up. Red Flag This Post Please let us know here why this post is inappropriate.
