i'm a newbie.
I also got 'package broken' today. I have now downloaded v.5 and wonder why I didn't get alert that an updated version was available. Guess I should have checked. I'm a free home user and Avast has kept me trouble free until last nite. I visited a website that I often frequent, a forum, clicked on one of the forum topics and a video jumped in which I could not end. I had to shut down firefox, then uninstall it the next day and reinstall. Right after I got the Avast package problem, so I kinda figured whatever that virus video was, it had also attacked Avast. Especially as it had sneaked by Avast. So now I've downloaded v5 and am running a thorough scan, which is creating it's own problem, but I'll check the rest of this forum to see if there's already a topic on it. Just fyi: it's taking about an hour and claims it's checked 12GB so far. i don't have that big a system! So I'm not sure what's going on.
