Make sure to close the update manager and THEN search for *.ctf files. Search sometimes doesn't find files if they're currently in use or otherwise open.

No.

I've been trying to update the free avg 7.5 for thirty minutes. I get messages saying 'update failed, follow these steps', but 'these steps' keep looping me to an upgrade page.


I did a search, as one of you recommended for ctv updates (or whatever they were called) but my search didn't find anything.

Is this avg's subtle little way of telling me that free protection is no longer available?
