AVG 8.0 update problem

I know that works I've done it.

What do I do once I've gotten the files from AVG's website? If it's to
click tools and go update from folder, then that won't work.

I'm not sure what the heck is really going on with your AVG, but, I have
had issues with the update
also, I just re-install it and choose repair when given the option, works
most of the time.
The only time I have seen stubborn problems with AVG is when the system had
an existing virus infection
and AVG was installed after the fact.

Is this the free version or full paid version?
If paid version, you probably need to send an email to AVG.
Don't hold your breath though!!!!
For the last couple weeks my update gets to the "finishing update"
point & locks the PC - have to do a reboot, then trying the update
again it works OK.
After a couple of emails to AVG & replies with questions etc., I've
since sent 3 emails - still waiting for any ideas they might have
(they haven't even acknowledged receiving my last 3 emails)!
I'm thinking of asking for a refund of the purchase $'s if they don't
improve their communications!
Cheers

Nope, it's the free version.
