Title: Avast shows old virus definition
Post by: Dynaheir on September 19, 2012, 07:00:35 PM
My avast does show definition 120918-2 when 120919 is already out. When I try to download it in avast itself it says I already have 120919, but the main screen shows older one. What I can do with that?

My other pc updated normally.

I have windows XP and avast 7

EDIT: Thanks it helped! Will it now update normally from now on?

does this help ?

google translate

pojdi na krmiljenje, plošče> uninstall program> avast> boste dobili popup okno z možnostjo popraviti ..... počakajte nekaj minut in ponovno zaženite
