PJ, Have a look @ this webpage (http://free.avg.com/ww-en/download-update).

As the title says.
Updating AVG database is blocked by our network, and so is reinstalling the program. I need to manually download the database, but can only find them for the pro version. Is there anywhere I can get the uptodate database for AVG fee?
PJ, Have a look @ this article (http://avgclick.me/UpdateAVG). Download & save Virus definitions & Link Scanner DB full to a file you create. Then when you manually update select the file you created.

I just tried again, and this time it has succeeded to install the downloaded updates. Thanks for your help.
The manual update website clearly says that those databases can't be used for AVG free.
The error message is a big black pop up, from the bottom right of my screen, that appears once a day. I can't remember the exact text but it is something like 'was unable to connect to download the update. I'll try to remember to write down what it says, next time it appears.
Alternatively, if I try to run a scan, the program says that it's updating the database and then the scan is simply cancelled without error message when the update is not possible.
