Good afternoon-
On my AVG Free version, I check the options to auto download. However almost every time I open the AVG control panel it says "AVG is out of date / please update downloads". Am I missing a step here? Is the auto update a feature that is on the free version or is it only on the paid versions?
Thanks-
Adam, the message appearing as out of date is actually an issue and to fix that it is necessary to reinstall the program.

Hi Balasubramanian-
When I see the "AVG is out of date", I have the ability to update it. However, I have set updates to run automatically via the settings. Why would the updates not run automatically?
Thanks-
