I adore Macs for their simplicity and cool applications, but I’m forced to use a PC for business. We PC users encounter many more virus attacks and problems with anti-virus software.
Last night I noticed the dreaded big fat exclamation point on my AVG icon. It said I was unprotected! Yikes! Being too tired to deal with it, I turned off my computer and set to resolved the problem this morning.
I use the AVG anti-virus program. Speaking with a friend today, I understand that McAffee is having a similiar problem. Here’s the scoop and the fix for AVG users:
Check your anti-virus icon. If it shows a warning, this post is for you!
(If not, check out my previous post on Damon’s Twitter DM Whacker - very useful tool!)
AVG users will see something like “Could Not Update Control CTF Files!” Don’t Panic! Your anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc. segments are most likely still functioning. But it is important for you to fix this so you can get updates.
For Window Explorer users:
1) Click “Start” then “Search” then “All files and folders”
2) Under “A word or phrase in the file” type “*.ctf” then click on “More advanced options.”
3) Check box “Search hidden files and folders” and click “Search”
4) Let it run. In a bit you will see 2 files listed “avginfoavi.ctf” and “avginfowin.ctf”
5) Click “Stop” once they appear. Highlight ONLY those two files.
6) Right click on the 2 highlighted files, click “delete,” and confirm
7) Reboot your computer and your AVG anti-virus should be update happy!
For Vista Users:
1) Go to C:\ProgramData\avg8\update\download and delete the .ctf files
2) DO NOT delete any files other than those ending in “.ctf”
3) Reboot and you should be fine!
If problems persist your control files are most likely corrupt. Go here to Delete AVG Utility Updates.
If the problem still persists you will have to unstall AVG, download a clean new version, and reinstall.
If you are having the problem with McAfee, my friend said just go to their site and there is a simple update fix.
Happy Puting! Tweet me if this helps @AlohaArleen !
Aloha,
Arleen Anderson

Tonight Twitter users continue to be under attack by a nasty phisher virus program. We’re getting the word out on “the fix.” An added bonus is to discover how to clean out your DM files. Get to know the developer of the application program so you are comfortable that it’s cool to use it in the first place!
A phisher virus is a program that gathers or “fishes” for information. Yesterday some yet unknown jerk unleashed one of these on Twitter users getting access to people’s accounts. There is a simple fix.
The first step for Twitter users is to change their password. The second step is a mult-phase process which is also fairly easy to do, even for novices. There’s also a wonderful “byproduct.” You can get rid of all your Direct Messages (DMs) cluttering up your DM page and slowing your page loads.
Listen to program developer, Damon Cortesi, of DM Whacker share his Twitter tool. This is one Twitter application tool you’ll want to use over and over again.
NEWS FLASH! Damon just activated a new feature which allows you to delete DMs with a specific text! This is handy for deleting DMs sent by a phisher. Just insert the text of the nasty phisher DM messages and it will take all those out for you - leaving others untouched. (Under Advanced Features - Text Matching) Thanks for your quick and brilliant work Damon!
