AVG update failed - this may be the reason

If AVG reports the error "Update failed", no updates could be installed. We will show you how to solve the problem and bring AVG up to date again.

AVG: Updates are not installed - possible causes

• In most cases it is just a temporary problem. Many users update a large new version or there is another server problem, but unfortunately only one thing helps: Wait.
• The update process can also be blocked by a firewall. Briefly deactivate the Windows firewall and all other installed firewalls.
• Alternatively, you can install the virus definitions manually. To do this, download the approximately 100 MB file from the AVG website.
• If the instructions in the following paragraph do not help you either, you still have to repair the software. In the following instructions, select the repair instead of the uninstallation.
