Yup.  We're all having the same problem.  Several other folks have posted the same question.  The link I've included, White answers it's a problem on AVG's end with the link.  We all seem to be still protected.  Just can't do an update yet.  They'll probably eventually fix the problem.

Answer 3

I think everyone using AVG is currently having this problem. Do a search on yahooanswers, and you'll see other having this problem :(

Currently the update for AVG Free v8 is corrupted... you will have to wait for AVG Technologies to address the issue with the update.

Reporting the issue again by other users here will not do any good util it is resolved.

The updates that your AVG currently have will still provide the protection it is setup to detect. In otherwords, not being able to get this update will not make your AVG Free ineffective and as soon as AVG Tech resolves the issue you will be able to update to the current virus definitions at that time.

So in short... please do not post to report the issue, its already known. Also please be patient until AVG Technologies can address the issue
