Having trouble updating AVG

My (FREE) AVG indicates last update version is: 6.0.624; virus database 401;
3/15/04.

According to their site, it looks like there is a 3/22/04 one.

But, when I try and update "from the internet" it says that it cannot
establish a connection.

So, I d/l the file (u6122xx0.bin), stored it in the Updates directory
(Grisoft/Avg), and tried to specify that folder in doing an AVG update. But
it says no update is there.

Any ideas?

You left the update too long...
The minimum requirement for the first differential update is version
6.0.627 (that's the 627). But since your version is 6.0.624 you'll have
to download the next one down:

http://www.grisoft.cz/softw/60/xx/u6122wbc.bin
(Minimum required version: 6.0.606)


New in this update...
AVG version: 6.0.639 (requires a restart)
Virus Database: 408, 22/03/04
 
Thankyou "Spock" Spock for the extra URLs tip. The 1 standard URL in
AVG 6.0 free (free.grisoft.cz) has been flakey of late.
