Hi Glen - You are not alone in this problem. Look at the thread Updates failing at https://support.avg.com/answers?id=906b0000000D44ZAAS
At least in our thread, Subhadeep Kanungo | AVG Guru says, "Hi Martin and AVG User, some people are facing this issue [updates failing] at the moment. AVG is working on to fix the issue. AVG User at present you can update AVG manually."
A few of us have tried everything suggested by AVG Technical Support and more to no availl. Until AVG fixes the problem, we have to update manually. But at least you know it is not your problem nor are you alone in the pain.
