Hello, I am trying to switch my AV from Avast to AVG on my laptop and I uninstalled Avast and when I tried to install AVG, I get this error:
'Some installation files are corrupt.
Please download a fresh copy and retry installation'
I click ok then I get shown
'Extracting License_us.txt
Extracting avgsetup.exe
Extracting sporder.dll
Extracting afuin64.dat
Extracting files.dat
CRC failed in files.dat
Unexpected end of archive
Close/Cancel
I tried to download AVG 7.5 three times now and still encounter the same problem. What should do I? Just go back to Avast?
-
Instead of using either. You should try Avira Antivir, it's the most powerful and lightest free AV.
-
Make that three of us. I've used the others, and done plenty of research, after which I've concluded that Avira is the best of these.
-
I went back to Avast and ill wait until Avira releases version 8 in April that is more compatible with SP1. thanks for your inputs
-
As far as i know, Avira Antivir works in SP1 perfectly fine, though i switched to NOD32 shortly after. It would be safe to go ahead and install it as a system restore point is made before installation.
-
Where have you been downloading from? Maybe the file from that website is corrupted. Try downloading from download.com. I'd just use Avira, though I heard avast's active protection is the best for free anti-virus software.
Switching form Avast to AVG, problem with AVG
