Hi everyone,

I'm running Windows 7 Beta and whenever I try to update my AVG definitions it goes to the red exclamation point on the AVG tray icon and a message comes up saying 'general error'.

Anyone know how to get my AVG updated on Windows 7 ?

I've had a search of the net, and some people have had sucess by going to Tools -> Advanced Settings -> Update and unchecking the box that says “Use DNS update”.

Try that and then see if you can update
