AVG Error "Invalid Update Control CTF File"

For the last few days, My AVG free antivirus is failing to update with the wierd reason. Today, I thought of finding the solution for it, and dropped the search text as the error message and clicked "I'm Feeling Lucky". the first result that pops out.. is from winhelponline blog
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/error-invalid-update-control-ctf-file-when-updating-avg-anti-virus-80/
The above page states the solution to the issues as delete two *.ctf files in some update directory of AVG installation.
Not only that, in that blog, the author Ramesh Srinivasan, has provided a VB script to delete the file by running a vb script. That's a very good one. I downloaded the vbscript and run it(after going thru the vbscript) to delete the two ctf files.
Immediately after running the vbscript, I tried the AVG update, it updates flawlessly. Thanks to Ramesh Srinivasan. Thats solves the AVG issue.

"Always Check and then Use the vbscript downloaded from Internet, as it can potentially damage your system. If you're not sure, don't"

Dual Role

With the advent of technology, We the humans, were able to achieve a new dimension in Movies and "Dual role" is one common tweak in movies. Usually , Its One person playing two Characters in a film like twins, Father & Son etc and often (Esp.

Inspite of the fact that there is 0% chance for loss in this business, he went into loss. The reason was simple. He has printed coins instead of notes. Most often, coins costs more money than its acual value. Almost in all world countries, the lowest denomination coin, is more worth than its actual values and basic reason, behind this was, its made of depleting resource, whose value keeps on increasing and never decreasing.. Two days back, I read a news article covered by BBC where there is large scale depletion of Currency in Eastern India. Interesting fact is that One rupee coins was melted and made into blades which was then sold for 35 Rs.
