    I cannot switch on "Automatic Updates " Windows Xp with AVG protection HELP?

    The following is what happens.
    Turn on computor, message appears bottom RH Cnr "Your computor may be at risk automatic updates switched off. Click baloon to fix"
    I click and at centre screen message "Auto updates off, fire wall on, virus protection on"
    In this message is "turn on updates"
    I click "turn on updates"
    Another message "Sorry security centre could not change settings for auto updates"
    I go to automatic updates through normal procedure ,click Auto Update On.
    Still will not come on. Brilliant minds please apply.

    I found it is better if you leave it off because otherwise it slows down your computer each time it tries to update. Just do a manual update about once a week, just before it does your weekly virus check.
    Thanks FF I am actualy running a hourly virus check as I had some body playing silly buggers. A Virus Protection Company ,not AVG, kept telling me I had 31 viruses and to purchase their programe to fix.
    I contacted AVG and eventualy I reprogrammed my AVG disc into the computor but that is when the message stated to appear "Auto Updates switched off"
    I have been going over the top with the virus check just to be sure.
    Thanks again all suggestions appreciated.
