Update

When avast tries to update automaticle i get a red window with the message saying the package is broken. What is wrong?

Sorry, don’t know, couldn’t resist it ;D

Have you tried an avast repair?
Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.

yes i have and it has not helped

did a complete uninstall rebooted re installed and rebooted

Problem Solved!

Were you referring to boot time or not? I mean, the update does not work just after logon or in any time…

when it checked for an update automatilcally it had an error but if i did it manually it worked fine.

Again, after logon or in any time, in any automated attempt to update?

yes it did attempt to update but then i got the error message.

So, it was a manual update that fails… strange…
Did you allow avast.setup to connect the internet into your firewall settings?

No it was the automatic update that failed the manual worked fine. Yes everything for avast is set to allow with my firewall. I was also using the Pre Release maybe it was a glitch i experienced.

Did you check your Update (Connections) tab of settings?

yes everything was set like it was supposed to be.
