Avast update ?

I switched on the computer and found that Avast had for some reason had to be up-dated before my anti virus was switched on ? the last time this was ON doe s any body know why this happened my current registration runs on in Sept ?.

It isn’t correct that avast needs to be updated before it is switched on, that wouldn’t be possible for a fresh install as the VPS signatures are contained within the latest program setup. Once installed when you next connect avast will check for updates, it isn’t a requirement.

What was the exact message ?

What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?
