Sometimes when I manually update after getting a “database can’t be updated” red popup, I click update to run the download and it begins to. After a few seconds it quits and the status message becomes 3s or 4s or 6s, etc. The download doesn’t work. I’m assuming the “s” means seconds and the download is timing out for some reason. I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, but I’m really at a loss as to what is happening. Also I’m perplexed as to why I have so much trouble when 4.0 and 5.0 Avast worked pretty flawlessly for me on two different machines with two different OS for years.
My other random issues are invalid signature when trying to update definitions. And sometimes upon start-up Avast gets stuck and won’t start (it has the red x in the system tray icon). The latter happened in fact just after I used the vpsupd.exe and restarted a little while later.
I have cable internet connection through Time Warner. There doesn’t seem to be issues with it. It’s better than my old Bell South DSL.
