Avast5 Manual Update failure

Hi, so, my Avast5 isn’t automatically updating… for ages… tried all sorts of things including reinstalling it. Still no go. The reinstall did have the later virus definitions but that is where it stopped… tried the proxy settings and a bunch of things to get it goning… nothing works…

its like i have a virus or something stopping avast from updating or what???

I tried to do a manual update today from downloading off the Avast website and got the following error:

Cant install VPS update. Please, report following errorcodes:
Ver:5.0.507
SI: 0x00000002
ST: 0xFFFFFFFE
LE: 0x00000000

Anyone know what it means???

any help would be great, cheers. :stuck_out_tongue:

Please, install the latest version of the program.
I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
  2. Download the latest avast! version and save it.
  3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
  4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can’t run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you’ve run it.
  5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
  6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
  7. Check and post the results.
