When i want to update,
there is an update ready for me to install,
but then it says :
Update requires computer restart.
Do you really want to restart computer now?
YES NO
Then i clicked YES, and it didn't restart,
so now it says:
You may not be protected!
Some components report an error:
Update manager: the update needs restart.

Is seems to be that your AVG is already corrupt.So reinstall it and then try to upgrate it.

It sounds like something is preventing AVG from issuing the restart command. Just restart your machine manually. That should correct the problem.
If the normal restart dialog box also does not work, you can enter this into your Run dialog:
shutdown -r -t 00

try to restart the computer the normal way , start menu > shutdown .
i think then it'll work much way better
and would be up to date too
as for me personally i liked avira antivir

i've been using it for long time 7 years actually and never asked for restarts after updating ,
but avg is my second choice .
good luck

seriously, i'm using AVG from version 7.0 , 7.5 ,and 8.0…
in 7.0 and 7.5 there is no problem but in 8.0 i had so many problem!!! like i'm not being protected because something is error… and it happen more than 10 times a month!!
so i think i will change to AVG 7.5 again…
*sob
PS: i think AVG 8.0 is too many bug because it have new design and system…

There are some postos regarding this problem in the AVG support forum. Take a look:
http://freeforum.avg.com/read.php?12,140380,140612#msg-140612
Their solution:
“First check in the Advanced settings… Tools-> Advanced Settings-> Update in the Update Manager settings… it should be set to update immediately…
Now this should solve your restart issue…. Problem is most probably in failure of file replacing on Windows restart. Look into folder where AVG is installed whether file “updatecomps.cfg.prepare” exists. If yes, then delete existing file “updatecomps.cfg” and rename “updatecomps.cfg.prepare” to “updatecomps.cfg”. Then restart the computer to see if the issue is resolved. “
