Windows Firewall shows Avast out of date

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

My windows firewall shows virus out of date. I obtained new registration number but it didn’t take, still showing the old one. I reinstalled the program with a new registration number but the old one still shows and the firewall still shows virus out of date. I’ve been using Avast for over five years but never encountered this problem.

I guess you mean Security Center.
Here is a post by Tarq57

I followed the instructions (thanks Tarq57) and removed the repository file and indeed the database was reinstalled after two reboots but the red “X” in my system tray (security centre) still persists. Also on boot-up the red VPS notice appears briefly requesting I update the database. I do this and it states that the database is already up to date (091107-0). My concern is whether I’m protected. Any suggestions
Thanks for your interest and help. ???

Check your system date and time carefully.

Thanks!! That was the problem! (I’ll never play with the date again to look at an advanced calander)
