You most likely are currently using version 7.5. If this is the case it will stop receiving updates soon if not already. This is because there's new version (8.0) available.
All you need to do is go to this link:
Free AVG Internet Security Version 8.0http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-AVGAntiVir&subj=dl&tag=button
and download and run it to update to the newer version. Close all other applications and browswers before starting so you do not loose any half finished emails and other work. It will ask you to close programs mid installation, so do it now.
If you have any problems downloading it give it a day or two and try again.
I had a few issues myself getting it to download properly but I'm sure they will resolve this shortly.
When you run the installation it will tell you that you already have an older version that needs to be installed but if you just let it walk you through the default steps it will uninstall it for you and then install the new version. Keep in mind that this is the FREE VERSION.
If you have a paid for version you will need to go to http://www.free.grisoft.com and click on the non-free version where it says 'Get it now' and you will be walked through the download process.
I use the free version myself and have been very pleased with it but some prefer the paid for version's features. It's up to you but they both give good protection. Also, this new version now has Anit-Spyware protection as well as some browsing aids that help keep your computer safe from security threats. Let me know if you have any question. Or if you need me to take care of this for you let me know your availability.
