    As of Dec 31, 2008 AVG Antispyware 7.5 is no longer supported.

    I've got AVG 8 and I cannot connect to server either. Tried to uninstall it and that failed too. Picked up Spyware Protect 2009 somehow. I deleted that file and need to update antivirus again. Is there anything better out there? I wanted to try Avast AV but cannot connect to that server either. Any suggestions?

    First you need to clean out the malware.
    Start here http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407
    and do what is recommended for your version of windows.
    When you have the logs needed, post a new thread here

    One of the malware fighters will help and tell you how to proceed with the cleaning.

    One side effect of having malware is that it does not let you update your security programs. Perhaps after you are clean, AVG 8.5 will update properly.
