Hello EH,
We will check and help you with it. Please change DNS server address to public DNS in Windows and check if that fix the issue.
(1) Right click on network icon in the taskbar and click "Open Network and Sharing Center"
(2) Click "Change adapter settings"
(3) Select the active/ connected network adapter and right click and select "Properties"
(4) Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click properties and then select "Use the following DNS server address". (By default "obtain DNS server address automatically" is selected). When you select "Use the following DNS server address", you can use the DNS address you want. Popular public DNS addresses are google DNS (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4),
After changing the DNS settings, click ok in the TCP/IP properties wizard.
Once you change this settings, restart your device and check if you are able to update AVG.
