this is the 2nd time I encountered the same problem in bout 1 month.
Both resulting in the same problem. I searched in this forum and found topics from 2003 but didn’t include any solution.
Windows gave me an “out of date” error on my antivirus files bout a month ago
So when updating avast i got the msg saying avast encountered a Http error on update.
I tried repairing but had to uninstall avast in the end. So redowned the online version with the same result : http error
I downed the offline version and at first i worked normally. few days agoi got the windows msg again saying out of date
and yet again i’m getting the http error ?
I ran MBAM (found nothing) and farbar (logs included = also says avast out of date)
Note: Save the download file to your desktop for easy finding later.
Next, uninstall Chrome using the Control Panel Remove program app:
Please go to START (Windows Orb) >> Control Panel >> Uninstall a Program or Programs and Features and remove the following (if listed):
Google Chrome
To do so, left clicking on the name once and then click Uninstall/Change at the bar above the list window.
Follow the prompts of the uninstaller BUT please read carefully any questions it asks before answering; some uninstallers will try and deceive you into keeping the software.
Last, restart your system and install Chrome:
Double click on the install file on your desktop (from the First step) to run the installer.
Please use Chrome after the installation and check for any problems.
There are a lot of people reporting the same problem.
Something seems to be wrong with the on-line installer and/or the use of the update server by it.
avast need to have a look at this.
