Fix for AVG 8.0 "Invalid Update Control CTF File"

So this is one problem that I've had since a few days and had no idea how to deal with it. Last time when i had this I had to re-install AVG anti-virus and then it was solved, but now I have found an easier way by which you can get rid of this problem when ever it occurs.

Firstly you have to change the folder setting so that you can see all the hidden files and folders, if you don't know how its done just read this article here.

Now navigate to the following path C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\avg8\update\download

The easier way would be by pasting the path in the address bar and click enter.

Now delete the files which have the extension as .ctf, and finished..

Update your AVG now and you can see that updates have started again without any problem, so the next time you come across this problem just repeat the above steps.
