Mines updating fine so not a problem with the server.

You tried reinstalling?

Mine did that. reinstalled it and it still doesn't work.

Go here and download AVG Mechanic, worked a treat when mine stopped updating.

Mine wouldnt update a few weeks ago. After a few days it suddenly decided to start working again

Being a former AVG user and having problems with it I changed to Avira. I had a few virii with that and changed to Kaspersky (paid for!) an dnever had a problem since.

Incidently - following regular updates following Avira scans I found 47 virii and trojans. You get what you pay for! No going back to freebie Anti-virus Progs for me...

when that last hapened to me, the fix was to delete the CTF files as they had become corrupt.
If you do a search on Google with the error message, you will find what to do.
