AVG Anti Virus

I love AVG. I really do. Even though they absentmindedly borked the web when they released version 8, I still liked them (once I was able to fix the problem anyway). What I don't like is the "Invalid update control CTF file" problem I've been having lately. Luckily, there is an easy fix. Just delete the two .ctf files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avg8\update\download and all will be well.

This guy even wrote a VBscript for all you lazy suckers out there.

Oh, and that free 10 year subscription that's being doing the rounds on bargain sites? It is warez, made using the EMBRACED keymaker. Avoid. If not because it is the right thing to do, then because it will eventually fail when AVG block new updates to it.

Free Boff still in progress

Those of you who know Boffer should know that the free boff is still in progress. Those of you who don't, this means every product is free except for shipping charges, although those are free in some cases too.

If you missed it, don't worry. Apparently there is a secret sell-off on or before the ninth which should have plenty of cheap goodies thrown into the middle of it.

But don't tell anyone. It's a secret. That's why I'm not going to tell anyone about it either.
