For the original op's problems ,

I had this problem and i found out the problem was the firewall , i use zonealarm and a pop up would pop out when i clicked update , make sure you always accept it . If you deny it it will come with your message.

So , in future just try disabling / turning off your firewall while it is updating and hopefully that should work

Hope this helps

Don't be silly! Try learning how to configure your firewall to allow this program to have access to the net. Telling someone to disable or turn off their firewall is bad advice.

I have a message coming up when I try to update my AVG. It says 'Invalid Update Control CTF File'. Anyone know what that means and how I can fix it?

Don't really understand why it's just come up in the past few days, what could have changed to affect it?

Same here... it comes up every time I turn the computer on.

Any advice anyone?

I had this for a few days towards the end of last week.
I got fed up of it so I uninstalled AVG free then downloaded and installed it again from Filehippo.

I've had no further problem.

I found the answer here: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/error-invalid-update-control-ctf-file-when-updating-avg-anti-virus-80/.

I downloaded the 'script to automate task' and it worked fine. It only took seconds.

I have also had this problem with AVG. Followed the instructions in the link above and now works fine.
