Well blow me (or words to that effect), we all seem to be the victims
of either Sod's Law, or possibly a hangover from April Fool's day.
Only last Saturday, I double-checked that the FileHippo link still
worked OK, successfully downloaded AVG Free v2012.0.2197, installed it
on a different machine (at home), and it runs fine.

BUT now I get the same 'File not found' as you guys. Checking deeper,
all is OK on FileHippo from the 2013 versions onwards, but not 2012 or
earlier. Knickers..    .:-(

A quick check of other sites suggested they are not to be trusted
(CNET etc). So no change there then.

However, as we seem to have the very latest version of AVG Free 2012
(2012.0.2197), I propose to email it to you both, possibly overnight
tonight. Please would you look out for it (or email me if you know
your kit won't accept a 142MB attachment).

HTH, fingers crossed.
