Download the latest version from here and install over the top

Download the correct version of Avast 
Avast Free
Avast Pro
Avast Internet Security
Avast Premier

Select this one avast! VPS update for version 2014 

You may have an old server address which was not updated so this should clear that problem

hello,
140412-0 VPS seem to be the one you downloaded from the site done by essexboy.
It's strange avast tell you :
Current version : 140412-0 & Latest update received : 19/04/2014 23:22:04

Are yo sure your firewall doesn't block avast updates ?
