Page 1 of AVG 7 Pro Edition - Peculiar Update

The latest, rather large update, changed my AVG7 Pro into the E-Mail Server Edition! Not only that, my Sygate firewall is being asked permission for umpteen (refused) different ports to be opened, all via AVG Company, but all lookng dodgy in their requirements. Anyone else noticed this "problem"? Thanks.

Yes!
After reading your post I did a "manual" update and my Pro Edition also turned into E-Mail Server Edition. Zone Alarm Pro didn`t seem to have a problem with this though. I even went to http://grc.com and used the Shields Up service to check for open ports, these might have been blocked by my router though. There was an article on AVG`s website about a change in their licensing, I have 6 email accounts so maybe I qualify for the E-Mail edition instead of the Pro edition, take a peep at www.grisoft.com

Thanks for the reply.
I had to resort to returning back to the free edition as the e-mail would no longer work, and the firewall constantly asked permission for odd ports. Oh well.

What do you mean by odd ports? Which ones? AVG will use "odd ports" to send and receive email as it will mask the usual POP and SMTP ports. When I upgraded I also had to re-activate the email scanner module, things now work fine for me.

The requests were endless, all via the AVG.exe, but things loke "hotman licensing" and other assorted bits. Did a virus and Spybot scan, but nothing.
Maybe it did not like my serial number (ahum)?

Hmmm, didn`t have any probs with my (ahum) serial number, well not yet!

This hasn`t affected our AVG7.0 Network Edition in anyway.

Do all those that didn`t have problems with their (ahum) serial number also have a firewall (mine is Sygate) running?
