I am getting a firewall update alert from avast from morning stating to reboot the computer and when i restart and agin check for updates it again updates the same firewall update manually updating and restarting doesnt solve the problem and idea about this below is the screenshot of the update
Why are you checking for an update after the restart ?
Though it should find you are up to date and not require an update (so that is wrong).
Try a repair of avast:
XP - Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow.
Vista, win7 - Control Panel, Programs & Features, uninstall a program, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Uninstall/Change and select Repair, click next and follow.
You may need to reboot after the repair.
This has in the past resolved this out of sync issue between reported and actual version.
I tried repair and it does not fix the update problem so for the moment changed the program update settings from Automatic to manual
Thanks
Personally I would try a clean reinstall:
-
Download the latest version of avast, 7.0.1466 http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again (if you didn’t save your last download). Use that when you reinstall.
-
Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for 5.x, 6.0.x and 7.0.x).
-
- Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can’t do that start from the next step), reboot.- 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 6.x if previously installed and then for 7.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.- 3. install the latest version, reboot.
