What is your Operating System?
Have you confirmed that AVG was not updating properly? Was there a error message? What version of AVG are you using?
One thing I can tell you is that Spybot-SD does not hinder or conflict with the working of AVG, less anything.
From your query, you said you upgraded to Spybot-SD 1.6.0 yesterday and AVG was working an hour ago? :snorkle:

It could be a possible faulty connection or it was a loaded update server.
Glad to help, even if it was the tiniest bit.

AVG just released a major program update (26MB) and the update servers for the Free version were severely overloaded with all the requests for the files. They are still unreliable and will be for a while yet - until the load dies down. This seems to happen most times a major update occurs - only the paid for version gets access to the high bandwidth update servers.
AVG v8 is more agressive in its Update Failed warnings than the previous version - which just tends to scare the users. I am recommending turning off the Update Manager warnings and relying on the Database out of date warnings which gives you a couple of days grace to allow the auto update to try again. This option is available via Tools->Advanced Settings-> Ignore Faulty Conditions - tick the Update Manager option.
