As per topic 92725 (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=92725.0) my Avast keeps displaying “The Package is broken” when attempts to update are made manually or automatically by Avast.
This has happened a few times now. each time, I’ve manually updated and repaired as suggested in the other thread (or uninstalled then reinstalled if manual updating didn’t work). But the problem re-appears withing a week or so.
Can anyone share any permanent solutions please??
Some relevant info:
Windows 7 x64, 8GB RAM & lots of HDD space;
Avast! version 121021-1, released 12/10/2012
Streaming updates : Enabled
Connection: Connection established
5.) Uninstall Avast! normally through Control Panel > Programs & feature ( Vista, W7 ) or Add and remove programs ( XP ). Reboot. If you can not complete this step, continue with step # 6
6.) Even if you were able to uninstall Avast! in step # 5, it is important to run aswclear.exe in safe mode for any Avast! you may have had before and then for v. 7. Reboot into normal mode after uninstall.
