On opening AVG (free version) I have the message 'Computer update required'. I click on 'fix now' but I then get the message 'could not finish auot state repair' 'go on line to …' .   On line I'm informed to re-boot the computer to resolve the issue.  This has not worked.  Has anyone any ideas to fix this?

I did this earlier on today, and now a few hours later I get the what I've stated elsewhere on the board.
