If you are using proxy server for connection into the Internet, you need to modify configuration of AVG update process this way:
Launch AVG User Interface -> from top menu "Tools" select "Advanced settings" option -> in the left navigation tree select "Update" -> "Proxy"
From the combo box menu located on the right hand side of this dialog select whether you want to:
Use proxy
Try connection using proxy and if it fails, connect directly.

Hey thanks for your help,
I have tried fiddling with the options in the advanced options menu and I have looked at the AVG site but still can't establish a connection.
I have tried using the 'connect directly' option and also 'manually' and 'automatically' connecting through a proxy and none work.
I currently update manually by downloading updates from the site but this is a bit irritating.
