I keep getting the pop up saying update and when I click nothing happens
Can you help please
Thankyou

What avast version do you have ?

The latest regular release is 6.0.1203.

Thankyou for replying
I have the ‘Free version’ and the Latest version I have is 6.0.1125

Have you tried repairing avast and rebooting, if no luck there download the latest version of avast and the removal tool and save then delet avast via remove programs then reboot into safe mode and run the removal tool and reboot again into normal mode and install the new version you downloaded.

Install this: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe
If it doesn’t work, follow craig’s advice and do a clean install.

Can you give me a link for the new version and your removal tool.
Will try your link first Asyn
Will get back to you and let you know how I get on

Thankyou

@ tame33
Please don’t post multiple times for the same problem, it just duplicates effort for those trying to help. I have answered your first post, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=83708.0.

I need help! I can’t update my virus definitions because the program doesn’t download the virus definition file “vps_32-586-585.vpx” at all. I’ve already scanned the computer, re-installed the program but nothing changed. What can I do?

Please, upload (attach) the avast log:
C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\Setup.log
or C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\setup.log

If the file is too big for the forum, post the last 400-500 lines of it.
