Re: Can't update AdAWare,SpyBot,AVG

Hi Dave -
I made a folder C:\AC-CLS and D/L the Multi_AV.exe to it, then unzipped it
there also. I disabled the Windows Firewall, and went thru the steps. Sophos
(1) and Kaspersky (4) seemed to download, but Trend (2) and McAfee (3) had
errors: ....read error code [0]. I tried again, and I also did the scans for
(1) and (4). They seemed to go very fast (secs). When I went to Safe Mode, I
tried (1), but it went to System Shutdown, 'cuz it said there was no info in
Sophos, and I had to D/L again in Normal Mode. (I did notice that the folders
for the four AVs were all empty 'cept Kas.) So on restart, I tried again,
went back to Safe Mode, and tried (4). This time it went to System Shutdown
'cuz something was wrong w/ Kas files (?? forgot to jot it down). Right now,
I think I am going to delete the whole \AV-CLS folder and start again.
Should I have put the original zip file in that folder, or is that
irrelevant?? Please advise. It is now 6:08PM my time and I'm tired!!
I will definitely try this again, tho' tonight. The next 2 days I
substitute teach, so my time will be more limited. Please be patient with my
response time. Thanks. Barb
