I keep getting a threat message telling me that my virus definitions are out of date and each time I try to update them the update fails. Anyone else experiencing this?

Tom,
Sorry to hear that you are receiving a threat notifications where it says your AVG is out of date. Go to control panel -> programs and features -> Uninstall -> Internet Security -> check if you have installed latest version of AVG 2017 or older.
I request you to share the screenshot ( http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-create-a-screenshot ) of that detection message and AVG interface which you have installed. Awaiting your reply, thank you!

A very simple fix which k should have tried earlier but it worked! Thanks for your help. I should have stuck to the basics and decided to go for the classic tech fix of 'have you tried switching it off and on?'..

Hi,
I have the exact same problem as Tom does (or did). I did uninstall and reinstall AVG Antivirus, and it worked fine for a few days, but the problem resurfaced.
You've mentioned version 6.6, but I'm only able to get version 6.5.3 on my phone - how do I get version 6.6? The Play Store doesn't show an update available.
Thanks.

I am having this same issue now as well. I uninstalled the app, and reinstalled it, did a scan, and got the same message. I went in to check for updates and was told that the virus definitions are up to date with a date of 2013.

Krystal, I'd request you to reset your AVG app and check if that resolves the issue. To do so, navigate to the location mentioned below.
Device Menu -> Settings -> Apps/Application Management -> AVG Antivirus -> Tap on clear cache and clear data -> Force stop the app once.

I'm having the same issue. It's telling me that my virus definitions are dated 2014 but refuses to update them. I paid for AVG so I'm reluctant to replace it with another product. I'm on version 6.9.3. I've reported the problem but no response yet.

Clearly, resetting the app is not working as multiple users are reporting the same issue (I am as well), what are the next steps?
