I came across the same problem but i found it posted on some website.

1 – Start up AVG,click Update Now.
2 – The list of updates is shown in Popup, click on the more information link.A list of updates will be shown.
3 – Click on and save all updates in a file except the last one – http://downloadfree.avg.com/update/u7iavi1616oo.bin – because this is causing the problem.
4 – Cancel the update and instead click on Tools > Update from Directory and go to the file where you saved the updates.Install these and AVG should be working properly again.

Yes! This took me totally off-guard yesterday and I was frantically searching for a solution, before I hit on the forum post message. Also looks like this is resolved now. I was able to update the virus database this morning.
