Problem with new avast! update.

Also, what does “CALL VLK” mean?

4

Vlk knows. ;D

5

VIK knows what? That is it broken or does he know how to fix it?

If you are using the regular release version 7.0.1466, and the repair failed - ‘Error processing packages. Please use full update.’ - then this worked for me:

Then you will need to do a Manual update of VPS - avast! Virus Definitions Update - Manual Download VPS Update (virus definitions, vpsupd.exe, approx 67.5 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.

Yes try what was suggested in the post above yours or if you don’t want to get into that, wait until tomorrow when it should be resolved.

I take it that you didn’t try the full manual download of the virus definitions as outlined in my Reply #5 above ?

11

Didn’t work for me.

Me neither. Now I am getting mad!

13

Are you using the beta ?

It didn’t work on my XP Pro system with the beta installed, but was fine on my win7 netbook with 7.0.1466.

14

Are you guys getting the “Invalid file signature. Setup will Terminate.” error also?

15

ya i got the same thing for the repair, maybe if we post the log it will help? so here is my log of the failed repair :slight_smile: i hope it helps you guys to fix it soon

16

Yes I am getting the invalid signature unable to update 3s to 31s

17

If it means anything to anyone the last update I did get was voice only, no pop up.

18

the popups and voice have been out of sync for a few weeks now.

Thanks David! This worked for me. (Windows XP)

Yes most will have got that error amongst others, depending on what you tried to resolve it. What is outlined in Reply #5 worked for me on the regular avast version, but failed on the beta version 7.0.1468.
