problem on 5.0beta

why my 5.0beta always failed to update the virus library???

I just had an update.

What firewall application are you using?

Problems with the beta should be discussed in its own area:

thanks. i’m new here.i’m using comodo.
perhaps there is a bug in the 5.0beta Chinese edition

It is a bug, in fact the definitions database is indeed updated but it does not reflect on the “current status” section. If you re-boot your PC or stop avast processes (two of them) and re-start them, it will then display the update correctly, just remember to go to settings>troubleshooting>and UN tick “Enable avast self-defense module” because failing to do this will NOT let you to kill avast processes and also remember that upon re-starting avast, you comeback to re-enable the protection module.

Even though this procedure seems lengthy, I find it faster than to re-boot the PC, and of course, that is only IF you want avast to display correctly because anyway, the database is updated.

I don’t use Comodo:
