What is your operating system and firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?
- If it does delete the entry for it and do a manual update, this should force the firewall to ask permission again.
Have (or did) you another Anti-Virus installed in this system, if so what was it and how did you get rid of it ?
Try this for the package is broken error - avast! Virus Definitions Update - Manual Download VPS Update (virus definitions, vpsupd.exe, approx 96.6 MB). - Save the file to your hard disk, locate where you saved it and double click it and that should carry out the virus definitions update.
