Guys am very very thnkful for ur precious replies …
I know there are issues in some version of avast 6 but I have been using this particular version 6.0.1203 for quiet a long time, never had this problem before, I always use to update it online , but now as my bandwidth is limited i tried for vps update method … same vps package and avast (version 6.0.1203) worked once but later on after I formated my pc it is not working … WHAT CAN BE THE POSSIBLE REASON ?? If it had worked once dat means it should work gain … We are missing sumthin guys… Help Help Help :-[ :-[ :-[
As DavidR said “Your problem may well be that you are getting avast report the VPS is out of date, because the avast 6 installation file is so old. Incremental updates won’t cater for the gap between when that avast 6 installation file had its database included. Last release version 6 was 2011-11-28. So the database in that is almost 18 months old.”
As u can see that the same vps package is used to update version 5 as well that means that the same vps package contains the older database files for version 5 , Sooooo it should easily work for version 6.
Database of version 5 is older then version 6 and the same vps package works for version 5 as well that means the vps package contains update files from the release date of database of version 5 … It should easily work for version 6 thats for sure (it has actually worked for me once so theres no doubt it will not work … The problem is that we are missing out something and we need to figure that out …
as DavidR said to update to version 7. I TRIED THAT OUT . the vps update isnt working after installing version 7 as well . It gives the same old error message That “this vps database requires latest program version” … SO I reverted to the same old and tested version of mine (version 6.0.1203)
Guys give me as much suggestions as possible .
IS THERE A WAY TO SAVE THE DATABASE FILES OF ALREADY UPDATED AVAST AND AFTER RE-INSTALLATION USE THOSE FILES AGAIN TO UPDATE THE PROGRAM ???
