AVG Security Updating

Anne,

Sorry for the trouble, we appreciate your efforts in trying to fix the issue. Make sure whether you have latest version of AVG 2018. Open AVG Antivirus -> Menu -> About -> it should be 18.1.

Open AVG Antivirus free -> click on Scan Computer -> once the scan gets completed, check whether last computer scan status has been changed or not. On Antivirus free -> My AVG -> My Subscription -> check whether you have logged in using your email credentials.

I have AVG Antivirus Free. This has been updating automatically.
Today, after getting an AVG prompt to restart my computer, a message was displayed, which included the words: '‘this is embarrassing – UI unable to start’  “AV unable to activate’.  .
I checked the AVG program in the computer directory. This told me I have basic protection (AVG Antivirus Free). . However the program display tells me that my last computer scan was 9 months ago.  I did a deep scan earlier in February 2018.
The UI message was not repeated when I next logged on.
I am now getting a a message "Don't forget to activate!  You'll be in trial mode only until you activate your subscription'… I have not asked for any trial. I have seen this message twice now.
AVG is still showing that i have AVG Antivirus Free protection. 

How can I check iif AVG Free has installed the latest updates?

Any help with the above would be great.
