Thank you for your tip. Obviousely, all the AVG users were affected. This problem made line 25 on the Google Hot Trends list for yesterday!

1 – Start up AVG,click Update Now.
2 – The list of updates is shown in Popup, click on the more information link.A list of updates will be shown.
3 – Click on and save all updates in a file except the last one – http://downloadfree.avg.com/update/u7iavi1616oo.bin – because this is causing the problem.
4 – Cancel the update and instead click on Tools > Update from Directory and go to the file where you saved the updates.Install these and AVG should be working properly again.
