Dear all, Iam using windows XP2, when updating my Avast the updation not takes place saying “not enough storage is available to process this command”. Please solve this problem.
Avast free antivirus
program version: 5.0.594
virus definition version: 151028-1
Replies are appreciated,
You have 2 problems.
1]
SP3 is not installed.
That means also many other security updates/patches/bug fixes aren’t installed.
2]
You are using a obsolete version of avast.
It is not supported anymore.
Time to get version 2016
I have Windows XP SP3 (with AVAST 8.0.1506) and I got the same error message when trying to update the viruses definitions (manually updating )
The downloading of the files begins but about halfway, it is interrupted by the following message
ERROR :not enough space
Last week I could download the viruses definitions without problems.
The problem is the old version of avast that you are using.
Well, how much space do you’ve left on your drive…!?
hello,
I have 16 GO of free space on my drive .
Moreover when making an attempt to download an update for the program, I receive the same error message
not enough space
It has nothing to do with free space on the drive.
The problem, as I said, is (very likely) that you are using a old version of avast.
Delete the current version completely.
Follow Eddy’s instructions. I was using avast 8 till the 25th of October and I got the same problem. On the 26th updated to Avast 2015 and now I have been a happy user ever since. Mind you this version basically has no impact on your resources sice it is very light indeed.
Thanks Eddy.
I followed your instructions to delete the old version, restarted Win XP and then downloaded the new version of Avast free.
No more problems now. 
Unfortunately ( ?) only the 2016 version was offered .
Nothing to worry, 2016 works well on XP.
