What I did was to run the AVD Manager from outside of Eclipse. Using AVG Anti-Virus, turning it off, didn't work for me when trying to update from within Eclipse.
1) Open a command prompt. 2) Go to the directory that the android sdk is installed at, and then its tools subdirectory. For me it was this location... C:\Users\Public\android-sdk-windows\tools\ 3) Run Android.bat. The first time I tried to run this, it didn't work, and complained about not finding the "x86_64" subdirectory (I'm running Windows 7 x64). I located the "x86_64" subdirectory as a subdirectory of "tools", and then set the environment variable like this... set ANDROID_SWT=C:\Users\Public\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\x86_64 ... then I reran Android.bat. 4) At this point, update just as you would if you were running the AVD Manager from within Eclipse. The above worked like a charm for me, where turning off anit-virus software did not. Good luck!
