Avast reports that it might be out of date Error; Please Help.
« on: September 01, 2007, 04:30:13 AM »

In my tray (lower right corner of computer) today a red icon popped up. It is a Windows security alert. You click on it and it opens windows security center. Under Virus protection it says "Out of date"  and then has a paragraph below that, that says " avast! anti-virus 4.7.1029 [vps 000770-1] reports that it might be out of date"  ???

I tried to manually update avast and it states its up to date.  What could be wrong? I dont want my security to @ risk.

I do have the automatic update feature enabled, and see it update quite often.

Please help, anyone.

Thank You  :D

That fixed it for now.

I hope it dont do it again, any idea what caused it to begin with?

Have a great day & Thank You.

Well... I don't think you'll find an answer... I had this in the past and couldn't detect the reason.
At least, it's not a reason that you yourself have control over it, just Windows glitches...
