If you're using AVG Anti-Virus 8 (Free edition), you may have just got a message saying that the update failed and a .bin file is missing.
It turns out this is because the update that is trying to occur is, errr, missing. Don't worry, though, it's not your fault. It's a problem with AVG. There are lots of people finding that problem today (16th/17th August 2008), and lots of people wasting time re-installing AVG with no improvement. My advice is wait a 24 hours and see if AVG fix it.
If you're in a real hurry, I can tell you which of the updates is missing and you can then do the other updates manually. To do this:
(1) Start AVG
(2) Click on Update Now.
(3) When the updates are shown in the popup window, click on the link to tell you more.

(4) Save the updates to your computer to do a manual update later. The one you want to avoid is (currently) the last one:
http://downloadfree.avg.com/update/u7iavi1616oo.bin - but it isn't there!!!.
(5) use "Tools->Update From Directory" and browse to the other updates to do them manually.
Of course... you could just wait for AVG to fix this. Can't be long now, surely :-)
