When updating AVG 8.0 virus definition
Receiving an error "Invalid Update Control CTF File".

You need to remove the .CTF temp files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avg8\update\download…. Dont delete all the .bin files in there unless you want to re-run all updates since your original installation. Only remove the avginfo files that end with .ctf.
