broken package

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

When I try to download the new version and the virus definition I get an error saying the package is broken. I also tried to install manually with no luck.

I tried the link, restarted computer and still no update. It says I have version 5.1.889. In the program when I click the update for virus definitions and update program it runs for a moment then error. " the package is broken"

When I download from the link and run it the package unpacks then nothing. Do I need to do a full uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks

Let’s try a clean install.

  1. Follow instructions here: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
  2. Reinstall avast!
    Solved…??

Well that seems to have worked the only problem is that I purchased a license back in August and when I insert it it doesn’t acknowledge it. I guess I will see what happens in a month.

Thanks for you help! :slight_smile:
