Try this - avast! Virus Definitions Update - Manual Download VPS Update (virus definitions, vpsupd.exe, approx 31MB). - Save the file to your hard disk, locate where you saved it and double click it and that should carry out the virus definitions update.
Note: Ignore the file name in the images of the page that is displayed after clicking the download link, they are for the main program, not for vpsupd.exe which will be downloaded.

yah i dont understand what is it
What don’t you understand ?
This is the full virus definitions and should overcome the problems with being unable to update.
huh i tried what you said and it said avast detected this as malware and blocked it. huh? as soon as it was close to finish downloading it , avast blocked it
wait i fixed it(the avast virus detection) but when i try to download it says interrupted.
Given the other topics you have created, I’m at a loss what is going on with your system as some including this could be an indication of malware blocking activity.
i am learning but i learn fast and post what seems to be problems. and i think that the comp-hackers.blogspot.com site needs to be removed cause it containts links to viruses you can send and even virus genrators or facebook freezers.
If you went to that site and played around there - you may well have an infection
If you play with fire you will get burnt
well i know that site is not a virus because i checked task manager and scanned for viruses and it appears that site is clean(no viruses) so the site is still a dangerous threat.
And yet you are having a lot of problems ?
well only avast failing to update which i noticed to happen oddly. maybe the bat file i was playing with (gotten by making it) stop avast from updating. which happend when my bat restarted my computer and oddly avast stopped automaticly updating
can you get back on topic and help why when i downloaded the avast it says 35.4/49.6 interripted
wait i fixed it the problem why avast wasent updating is that THERE WASENT ENOUGH DISK SPACE. how can i not recognise that
Try uninstalling any unneccesary things from your system to give you some more space, or move them to an external drive.
