I has restored the primary partition with Ghost from symantec and to my great stupefaction, I can do the update of the viral base (version 706-1). I hope it’s resolved.
I suggest that you also do a program manual program update to bring your version fully up to date. This should be OK from 4.7.892 if this doesn’t work you could try a reinstall.
Download the latest version of avast and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall.
Guy, David was faster than me ;D
4.7.892 has update problems. You need a clean installation (from scratch) of the 4.7.942.
You shouldn’t stay with version 4.7.892 as you’re losing the last avast features
