AVG Error: Update Process Failed

Hi!

My friends told me about the AVG Antivirus and then I installed it on my PC. I download the free trial version of this software to try it. There was no installation problem but after a while I found a message telling me that I must update the software. I tried to update it by opening the software GUI and then clicked update and I found an error message appearing as follows.

Update process failed

Update process failed..

Reason: Sorry, you do not have

permission to execute avgupdate."

So what can I do to update this software? It is a very urgent issue to the Antivirus software to complete saving my PC.

Thanks in advance.

AVG Update is filled with errors, there are few things you can try, in order to fix it:

  1. Try to uninstall and re-install.

  2. You can also clean up temporary update files by using a manager, located in the update manager from the AVG UI > Advanced settings > Tools > Update. Select Manage tab and click 'Delete temporary update files' button.

  3. You may try to update it manually from here.

If none of this works, I suggest you to change your Antivirus software.

There are lots of free Antivirus available on the internet, like Avast Or Avira.

Hello! James,

Here is your solution. You need to run your AVG Antivirus update as a root, with all administrator rights. Like if you are using Ubuntu. So for running an AVG update it needs to be a root.

So open terminal and use "su" command to become root, then run AVG update.

This solution will work definitely. Please contact if you have any other problem.

Thanks
