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.

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

Lost Name

When ever filling an online form or an application, I used to stuck at last/sur name . Is it Pandian(my third name) or Annamalai(My Father's Name)? . After a moment of doubt, I would write one of the two and click submit. After all, its my name. But the question of last name was always a doubt. Finally, today, i searched for last name in wikipedia. Its a very big explanation. I keep on reading and reading, reading for a while. Obviously, Last Name is used as additional identifier for a person. In various part of the world, the last name is used for different purpose. In Tamil Nadu & kerala, Nowadays, Father's Name was used as last name while some hundred years back, caste or clan or place name were served as second name. Credit goes to Periyar. but all in vain.
