I tried to initiate the manual update feature for the virus codes and I am permanently locked in this mode with nothing happening. Am unable to update the program or check on status of updates. What do I do?
- Which avast!..?? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
- Which version…??
- OS…?? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)
- Other security related software installed…??
It is Free Avast.
Later I restarted my computer and the problem now seems to be corrected. Unsure why I had a problem, But this message is no longer applicable and may be removed.
This can occur if you trigger a manual update at the same time as an Avast generated update is happening
I can vouch for that. Yes.
A bit of general advice:
Rebooting the system when you seem to have a problem with any program
quite often restores the program and ends your problem.
When all else fails, try a reboot then if you’re still having a problem, ask here for help.
