Tom, You've already posted about this issue in the correct area (https://support.avg.com/answers?id=906b0000000D2S6AAK). It would appear that you now have the 4716 version installed. Leave that alone, download & run the 4744 version but on the "Repair & Uninstall Options" screen click on the 'Repair installation'. You should then have the 4744 version installed.

I finally got the AVG free version to install on my desktop (WinXP). I notice it is version 4716. I know that the newest version is 4744.
I downloaded the free version of 4744 and click on the exe and then I get a screen say "Repair & Uninstall Options." I don't know what that is! I thouht when I clicked on the 4744 exe file, it would overwrite the old 4716 version that is already installed? This is getting so very confusing for me and I have spent so much time trying to get the 4744 installed. I even deleted the 4716 and when I tried to instal the 4744 I got the same scree "Repair & Uninstall Options."
The screen that appears has "Repair & Uninstall Options"

Uninstall AVG
I clicked on Uninstall AVG thinking it would uninstall the old version and install the new version, but it just uninstalled my old version. I tried to run the new version again, but got the same screen. I had to finally install the 16 version again (which didn't give me that Repair/Option screen.
What is going on? I am ready to give up on AVG for this desktop.
I don't blame you Tom, support is certainly lousy. It is not necessary to download updates. If you prefer to keep scheduled program updates disabled, then when you get a tray notification telling you that AVG needs to be updated, you can simply click on "Update now."
It is checked. I don't know what is happening with this AVG 44. As I said, very confusing to me. I think I will have to go with another AV program. I can't spend any more time on AVG.
