Outdated Software

Scan says Adobe Reader is out of date. Update fails when I click on, update. When I bring up Adobe Reader, and use its update button, no update is necessary.

Try a reset: https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB110

Hello ksiemb,

could you please upload swhealthex.log file (usually located in C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log folder)? It could help us to figure out the reason of Adobe Reader update fail.

Thank you in advance.

If you have, just to say, Adobe reader X, you can’t update to Adobe Reader XI via the embedded update function. If you have Adobe Reader XI, you can’t update to Adobe Reader DC via the embedded update function. That is only for minor updates. You have to uninstall the version you have installed and install the latest one.
