I have AVG Antivirus free edition-The antivirus and antispyware sections say that they are outdated. I click update-and it says update successful and restarts my computer. However, once the computer gets restarted, its still says that the are outdated. How can I fix it so my computer is safe?

Answer:
you could have that pc virus,conficker. go to CNET at http://www.downloads.com and download the McAfee Avert Stinger and run a full scan. Also consider getting rid of AVG and replace it with Avira AntiVir Personal 9.Avira has a higher virus detection rate than AVG,the updates can be set to auto and rarely fail like AVG does. If yo choose to replace AVG,in your taskbar (bottom right)right click on the AVG icon and shut it off.If you try to uninstall with the program running,you will have nothing but trouble.Then after that ,proceede to uninstall AVG Also, about that possible conficker:on the CNET page in the Daily Downloads,there is an article called “Eye chart can help diagnose conficker”(click on that article).On the next page,click on the two words in blue that say “eye chart” and that brings it up and you might be able you give your pc a quick diagnose.
