had a problem update virus and engine defintions would not update from 101228-0 to 101228-1 it said it was updated, and then when i pressed OK it then said it was out of date with the numbers above being repeatd.
i uninstalled avast and reinstalled after restart and everything went slow and would not respond, then eventually i updated the definitions, which took agaes and about 50 mbytes, and now it all seems to be working. can someone please point me in the direction of what went wrong? have scanned computer with both avast and mwarybytes both before and after and the only other difference is i installed chicken invaders 1 yestrday(glad im a veggy)
thanks in advance of a reply i can understand^=))
Please, upload (attach) the avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\setup.log
(or the shorter C:\Users\All Users\Alwil Software\Avast5\log\Setup.log).
If the file is too big for the forum, post the last 400-500 lines of it.

First of all you should update your XP to SP3…!!
Plus all important updates since the release of SP3…!!!
Trying to protect an outdated OS (with many holes) doesn’t make sense… 
asyn
we have been using sp1 for many years, have security installed that lets nothing in/out that is different from my wife’s sp3, it feels good to have the freedom of no windows updates that would fill my meagre 40 gig laptop with useless updates and downloads,the issue i post is not a sp1 issue as the log shows so to tell me i should update holds no ground in this case. i understand the holes and patches and security issues and on and on, however, i happen to like the set up i have got,which includes firewalls peerblocks and of course avast when this laptop dies, 20 years from now, i’m going linux, or whatever the equivalent will be. thanks for the input all the same
No problem. Anyway, it’s up to you…
asyn
shirleyanne, I did not find anything wrong in your logs (apparently).
