Andy,

Thank you. That was exactly my point, only you said it much better than I did.

  John,

   

  I think the point Dave is making is:

   

  They did notify all clients individually about the availability of the new 
version, urging them to act immediately!

  However, when they managed to release an incomplete install, they did NOT 
send out a second notice to that exact same group to warn those who were 
trusting enough to follow their initial urging to upgrade that they better 
download a second time.

   

  In fact, if their customer portal has a "last login" field in their database, 
then they could have identified anyone who had accessed their customer portal 
that day and even restricted the follow-up warning to that group.

   

  I feel Dave's pain: I was lucky that I didn't have time earlier. Otherwise I 
could have been in the same boat. And by the time the installation failed - and 
NO mail was being delivered anymore, with customers up in arms about it  - my 
last concern would have been catching up on the chatter on mailing lists.

   

  Best Regards,

  Andy

  The upgrade that came out today, 4.3.46, was specifically and pointedly only 
to correct a problem with the built-in AVG scanner that was created by a change 
AVG recently made.

  I did so, and the upgrade went fine this time.

   

  So why did they restrict the distibution of the mod notice to the AV list 
when they sent individual emails to notify of the initial upgrade?

   

  This is more than annoying...
