Can't Update my antivirus (AVG 8.0) or uninstall combofix

So I can't update my antivirus or windows. I tried doing it manually too and it just says it can't find an internet connection even though I do have one.

At first I thought it was malware but I went through the malware removal process on this forum and no malware was found in my logs.

In that process I saved combofix to my desktop like it told me, but after the process (before I removed all the software that I downloaded to check for malware) I put all the removal tools into one folder (including combofix). Therefore when I tried to uninstall it I couldnt do it the way the forums told me.

Now my comp. will never go into sleep/idle mode. I dont know if thats related to combofix or the original problem. I need help because not being able to update my software is holding me back from work that needs to get done. Thank you.

 

Since avg is free why not re download that program.

As far as combo fix install revo uninstaller and try to uninstall it that way. http://majorgeeks.com/Revo_Uninstaller_d5706.html

 

its not just AVG it has to be something else b/c no software on my comp. will upgrade at all!!!

 

I have had the same problem with AVG not updating also last night. Not sure if its perhaps a server problem at their end?

 

you didn't mention that no software was updating you stated avg.
Just hang on and maybe someone will have an idea why it's not updating.
Just a quick note when you checked for malware did you run the read and run me first from the malware page?

 

yeah of course I did...this is a really weird problem that I have never had before, and I . I'really need to get it fixed. I've already had all my good friends who supposedly know alot about computers help me with it. But they all thought it had to do with malware. And when I ran the read and run me file for malware (went through all the steps) I came up with clean logs. So confused please help!!!
