Could you please provide us with a screenshot of the message?

Is it message from AVG or is it message from Windows?
Please try to perform full reinstallation:

After running remover and restarting, is the message gone?
Thanks
I recently loaded the free version of AVG 2011 which has been working very well..until today when a message appeared 'your system needs to close to complete update'. On closing and rebooting I see that no update has taken place and eventually the same message appears 'your system needs to close..etc'. I'm in a loop that won't clear itself. I'm running 'Vista Home Premium' on a 32bit Windows system. I've tried restore to no avail. I've tried to uninstall AVG 2011 but no luck. I've even tried reinstalling AVG 2011 again hoping this would get rid of the problem, but again no joy....Be gentle with me in your answers as I'm way down the ladder when it comes to computer technology/jargon, but your help would be very much appreciated.
