I'm trying to become a moderator over at the free forum...Big AL has too much power and closes down threads too soon but there is a way around. go here: http://free.avg.com/download-update You want the two lower files, the ones with iavi and avi within their file names.
here is a C & P of my post in the forum............:
This is not for the faint hearted...do this only if you intimately know your system. First, go to www.majorgeeks.com..to the antivirus subcatagory, look down you'll see the listings for AVG.
{no need to go to majorgeeks...I gave you the URL........}
{snipped}
The next page gives a warning...ignore it but the file sizes[a binary .bin] is about 30-40 Mb or about 10 minutes on a 256k connection. Do not update your clock as stated in the sticky here,you should do that as a standalone operation when connected to the NIST time servers[? Yahoo it]. Before you click the indicated button...create an easy to find folder,with an easy name. Set your Windows download manager to go to that folder, ditto if you're using a third party product. Click and make sure its going where you want or start over. Once the binary is in your folder right click the AVG icon in the taskbar as you normally would for a manual update but obviously you want to select "Folder" not Internet and when the Windows popup comes on screen direct the manager to the folder you created. AVG should detect and if it does, you will get the regular update screen and watch for the files being loaded. At first my AVG did not use the new database because it was on a schedule but on a manual scan it did. You can confirm installation by observing the lower right side bar for version and date and also in the Control Centre dialogue/window. Current version is.......270.12.11/2095 released on 5/4/2009.....it is now 03:10 Eastern at the time of posting this. CC reports Last Test was run on 5/5/2009 at 2:01:00 AM on the same line as the version. When you've run testing with the new database once or twice,you can if you want delete it without affecting performance of AVG 7.5 or keep it as an archive but I don't see why you would....you only need the most current download.
I don't know how to make it any plainer than that.
AL....leave this post alone. ________________________________

I just did it again now and have in the Information box...version tab..
Program version: 7.5.557 Virus base: 270.12.21/2101 Release date:5/6/2009 5:58 PM
Now version 7.5.557 is what they let you have up to April 30th, however filehippo only has 7.5.524a in their archives...not sure what that means for new installations yet. My last PIII died of old age last December. This Asus I'm on now only supports 2000 or later....if I get another socket 370 board, I can rebuild my multiboot system and will try 7.5.524. Of course, you are welcome to try and see if it sets itself up to 7.5.557 or not. Either way, at the URL site what you want in the two bottom most files, the upper two only work if you have 8.x! Again, you want the ~35Mb file and the ~5-7Mb file near the bottom. It is a bit of work but useful if you want to keep 7.5.xxx and Win98 going.

Could just be me but this method stopped working for me yesterday. I had used it successfully for about three weeks.
AVG didn't recognize the latest update files. Downloaded them twice, so not a corruption issue.
Ripped AVG out by the roots and replaced it with Avast.

Well I just updated manually after supper on Wednesday....let me look..
Control Centre :
Information....About.... I have Virus database:270.12.43/2138 Release Date:5/27/2009 6:21 PM on the version tab in the info dialogue. I know it hiccupped for me on Saturday because the full files didn't d/l for some reason, then it worked on Sunday.
I would clear the cache in your browser[s] clean out all but the most neccesary cockies and try again.
When I do my daily again, I'll see and report back in 48-60 hours. I still don't have another socket 370 yet so I can't test for W98 only 2000 Pro [this Asus board] and XP on the HTPC.

The hiccup could be not waiting long enough between AVG's postings and accidently getting the old files twice.
