Good Morning & Happy New Year
I downloaded AVG but it fails to Update. Can't uninstall. Installed Avira but can't find whether I am eMail protected. Any Help/Advice much appreciated.

use avast 5 free instead, and download and run the avg removal tool
Also try malwarebytes as a supplementary scanner!!

Do NOT keep installing antivirus without removing old ones.
To remove AVG go HERE http://www.avg.com/us-en/download-tools and download the 32bit or 64 bit, whichever is the operating system you have.
A word of warning on AVAST if you find your browsing has gone slow, then it is the WEBguard or whatever they call it, it can slow down the web by a third or more. Does not happen with Avira or AVG.
If AVG dioes not update it could be your windows firewall that has blocked it, you need to check this.0 -
Avast 5.1 does not slow down browsing to any great extent that you will notice when using Web Shield. It is one on the best free anti-virus programs and likely is THE BEST..0

AVAST is in the top 3 of antivirus, it updates every day!
Worth a download :-)
k.If you want to see a rainbow, you have to get used to the rain.0
