won’t update
What errors are you getting ?
What have you tried ?
Manual update, avast repair, etc. etc.
just wouldn’t update, did a clean install and all is well, thanks
I am pretty sure u made a install over version 6
I did the same…i also couldnt update…
so i went back to version 6 and yesterday night i used aswclear and did a clean install of version 7…update now works just fine…
i wonder why it doesnt work if a upgrade i done on version 6 : ???
Maybe the upgrade corrupts the updater :o
Since you both “erased” the original situation, we will never know what was the original problem (so it can’t be improved so to avoid it in the future).
Although there might be several potential reasons (including potential conflicts or bugs in the beta), one common reason is the firewall rules. By deleting the old firewall rules related to avast, saving and rebooting, the conflict might be resolved.
I repeat this is only one of many possible reasons, and we are now just guessing, with no way to confirm it.
Please report back if the issue presents itself again.
Well…u maybe right but i had use aswclear and ccleaner to get rid of the remanents which annoys me…
How i wish if aswclear woud be available for version 7…
I understand. My point was that using whichever method to get rid of the problematic installation to replace it with a clean one, also wipes out any traces of the source of the problem too, so it is impossible now to find if there is some bug or is it more about a certain setting and that’s it (which is the whole point of a beta version).
Obviously you want to have your avast working, so it is also understandable you decided to start afresh.
