Sorry. Just installed Home edition and I’m encountering the same update problem. I go to my Task Manager (Win2K) and it shows avast.setup running but when I tell it to end process it says it can’t end. When I try to manually update “vpsupd.exe” (downloaded from website), I get the same error as reported in the first post in this thread.

How do I go about stopping the avast.setup process in order to be able to update the file? I’m logged on as an Administrator so permissions shouldn’t be the problem. Do I need to edit the avast.ini file (and if so, how)?

Sorry for such a newbie question but I’m a recent NAV then McAfee then AVG convert.
