I am having trouble updaing my virus definitions file. it will show that it is initializing, but go nowhere. what should I do? re-install?
How long has it not been updating ? it could be a server issue for your area but first step would be to run a repair and reboot.
a few months. where do i repair?
XP - Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow.
Vista, win7 - Control Panel, Programs & Features, uninstall a program, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Uninstall/Change and select Repair, click next and follow.
You may need to reboot after the repair.
This has in the past resolved this out of sync issue between reported and actual VPS version.
Report any errors if displayed in the repair process or if it resolves the problem.
- If that doesn’t resolve it you are probably looking at a clean reinstall.
