    Just download version 7.5 and install it now, you should be safe enough with that.

    Did you remove the old version first? I think it warns you before setup to either close or remove the old version.

    Did you try the "repair" option when installing? That's what they recommend when upgrading from 7.1 to 7.5

    Forget AVG, try Avast or AntiVir instead.

    I found the free AntiVir quite limited compared to AVG - it seemed I couldn't run any sort of scheduling at all with it. Also, those big nag screens every time I updated it were fooking annoying.
