AVG Free will not UPDATE

Hello Leslie. I do understand your concern. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. May I know which AVG product you have whether AVG Antivirus or Internet Security? Additionally, May I know the exact error message while updating the product?

I'm also having this issue where AVG Free is failing to update. I'm running AVG Antivirus Free 2015.

The only message I get is Update Failed: General Error

Update Required   Update failed   Repeatedly !!
Nothing on the site has been helpful.  Apparently AVG cannot communicate with Charter Internet.
Tried to use chat but was simply driven round and round via the site.
Any help would be appreciated.
