My Avast does not want to update a viral base and writes:
Information about current update:
Last encountered error: Another instance of setup is already running. Please wait until it finishes and then try to run it again.
If the process avast.setup (the update process) does not finish correctly, for any reason, new instances of it will give you that error message.
When it is occurring? Just after booting or at any time?
Aren’t you trying to update more then once at the same time?
Which firewall do you use? Which is your Windows?
This report comes all of time since I set Avast. A base never revived after it. I do not utillize firewall. Windows XP. Connection with the Internet takes a place through the provider of cable TV.
That is quite a large jump and is also a change in the format in the version numbering. So I’m wondering if your Program version is also well out of date.
What avast! Program version and VPS file (virus database) number, e.g. 4.7.1098 (latest version) and 071208-0 (see about avast!) ?
If your program version isn’t the latest, do a manual program update.
My version of Avast 4.7.1074, VPS 071203-0. Avast 03.12.2007 set. Since then not base of viruses not program did not updates. A report which I presented simply appears. Why - does not know… ???
The latest program update has only just been released but updates happen over a 7 day cycle to balance server load, so in due course you should have been notified of a program update. As I said do a manual program update, right click the avast ‘a’ icon, select Updating, Program Update, this should also do a signature update also.
Let us know if the manual update worked ?

I did an update by hand and bases and programs. However, after pressure of these options nothing takes a place… Connection exists with the Internet, because I added a language for the interface of the program. He was set normally.
Didn’t you delete lines of this log? It’s strange… nothing is being done but there is not any error.
Where did you install avast (full path)?
Are you logged as an administrator of the computer?
I deleted not a single line. Did updates as an administrator. Avast (full) set from a home page. Can there be business in setting of Russian?
I can send to you all log file. It is not large, because I set the program only 03.12.2007.
You’re using the default path (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4).
Your system is deliberately not updating.
You seem to be using the trial version. How many times did you install the trial version?
Did you enter the registration code for Home or Professional version?
