Too bad I'm not using the Windows version but the Mac version. Luckily the solution is more or less the same. Even though I was using the most recent version, removing AVG and reinstalling it solved the issue.
Hello Night,
We apologize for the inconvenience. It seems that you have installed the old AVG program and it got corrupted while trying to update the new version. We would request you to uninstall old AVG traces using AVG Removal tool and then you can reinstall AVG program on your computer.
Please click on the below link to run AVG remover tool :
http://files-download.avg.com/util/tools/AVG_Remover.exe to completely uninstall your AVG program from your PC.
Once the AVG Remover Tool has done with its process. Please go to the C drive and look for a folder named as "AVG Remover" and I request you to delete it manually.
Once you are done with the remover tool please try installing the AVG program by clicking the following link:
http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/Antivirus_Free_1817.exe
Thank you.
When pressing "Check for updates" in the menubar menu, The AVG window opens, and at the top-right it says "Installing updates" with a spinning wheel, immediately followed by the error message "An error occurred during updating". Pressing "try again" gives the same result. What is going wrong?
• I have full internet access.
• I am connected to my zen network (logged in with correct password).
• Little snitch has given all of AVG full access on both incoming and outgoing network traffic for both "me" as "System". Also when LS is completely turned off, the error persists.
