Exclamation AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0 Problem
Hi everyone. I have AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0.135 and I am having trouble with it. First it said, that the control file was missing for the update manager. Then, I tried to update AVG and it says it can't connect to the Internet. Can someone please help me out?

Sounds like a reinstall is a good idea.
Then ... if the attached is the message .. wait and try again later.
Seems like AVG is having some problems

Yes, the attached error you showed me was the error that I was giving. I just tried updating AVG again earlier this night and it worked fine. It's also no longer telling me that the control file is missing so I am assuming that everything is fine.
