I use avg free 7.5 and I don't have to restart to do anything.

The updating proceeds automatically and normally.  I haven't done any
manual updates on 7.5 except the one I did at the time I installed,
because the install version was months old by that time.  At that
update, I didn't download anything to a folder, but let AVG do its own
thing over the internet.

In the past with the previous version, occasionally maybe one time out
of 15, the system requested a reboot to finish an update.  In the past
with the previous version I also did one manual update because there was
a discrepancy between the information at VirusTotal and what my system
told me about a file [negative], and then that manual update gave me a
fresh template and a positive result -- so the autoupdate was 'behind'
what was achieved with the manual update and what was available at AVG
information.

Maybe you have something configured funky that is causing this
rebooting/restarting requirement.
