Avast won't udate definitions

I had a problem with my remote software not working. As a result of trying to fix it, I discovered that the windows firewall was off and couldn’t be turned back on, Avast and Malwarebytes would not update and there were three p2p software programs running (none of which I had installed). I managed to get rid of the fake p2p files, but the updates still don’t work. Has anyone had this before? Any idea how I can get Avast to update again? Thanks.

you do have internet connection on it ?

Malwarebytes have some new tricks…if you have latest version

browse to C:/programfiles/Malwarebytes/chameleon

run one of the files (not the one with the question sign) if the fist one you try does not work, try next

a command promt box should open, that say “press any key to continue” then just click the enter key

wait and see what happens

  • MBAM will try to update…
  • Searc for malicious processes to stop…
  • Start MBAM and run quick scan…

when done, post the log
