Go get the latest AVG to install then uninstall the current one and install the new one?

It's a common thing to do with Windows apps.

There is something worth noting about the free version.

All the free versions of these seem to not update every time. It's too easy to find posts about that but it is a free product so they can only put so many servers out there and if there's a lot of update requests, you can guess you might miss an update. It tries again later so the only problem as I see it is that many of today's users "want it now."

Just click on the Update button when it happens

Whenever I get that not fully protected message, I just click where it says Update, and it downloads and installs the updates. I run the free AVG here on several PCs and haven't had any problems.

your pc needs to update it's cookies too

sometimes old cookies get left behind which need updating the next time there's an auto update(I think those are called cookies, but anyway tech people will know what I mean). Also when you uninstall, all those old cookies don't get cleaned out so they are still trying to do their job but can't link to the site they belong to because you've broken the link by uninstalling the software.

New ones have to get in to replace the old ones which can take a day or 2 or 10!
