It was offered as a Windows Update. I installed it via the WUS window by
clicking Install Update. Then, at 3am when I have updates scheduled, it
kicked off and attempted to install it a second time because when I did the
install it failed. It was successfull at the 3am automatic

Did you mean a free-trial version of AVG AntiVirus or AVG Internet Security?

What anti-virus application was installed before you installed that free
trial?

When (approx. date) did you install the free trial?

Had the free-trial period already expired by the time you uninstalled it?

When (approx. date) did you install Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE)?

What anti-virus application was installed before you installed MSE (e.g.,
the AVG free trial)?

Repost: Did a Norton or McAfee free-trial come preinstalled on the computer
when you bought it?

See...

Can I install Microsoft Security Essentials [or any other
anti-virus/anti-spyware application] to clean up my already-infected
computer?

Perhaps this is just me, but my computer worked fine before the update and I
had just finished a paper for work. Then I installed the update and now I
have no fonts as a "standard" user. HOWEVER, if I run as local Administartor
everything works fine. What does the AntiVirus have to do with my Fonts and
the Font permission upgrade?

When (approx. date) did you purchase the computer?

The AVG free-trial had already expired when you reinstalled MSE, yes?

May I ask why you'd uninstalled MSE and then installed the AVG free-trial?
(I presume you didn't have both of them installed at the same time, right?)

> ...What does the AntiVirus have to do

I suspect the User Accounts without Admin privileges may have been
damaged/corrupted by AVG...or even possibly gotten infected while the AVG
free-trial was installed or after the free-trial period had expired but
before you got MSE (re)installed.
