Title: Problem,question
Post by: User1999 on November 13, 2013, 06:44:16 PM

Hello.
I have problem.
My avast version won't update.It's not so long period,but few weeks for sure.
It's not even doing an little updates,which was done everyday by it self.
What I'm supposed to do to fix that?

And one question.I was searching here for a while,and find out people argue about new version of avast,they say it make their PCs become crazy...Is that fixed?

do have a firewall, if so what?

have you tried avast repair
controlpanel > ad/remove programs > avast > uninstall/change > repair option....wait a minute and reboot

any change?

I've just checked updates definitions,etc etc.
and it says: Latest update received: and it date is actually today.
I remember I was always hearing something like: avast...has been updated,some women sound. and I get poping up from taskbar (that was green color i think)
Now I don't see it,nor even hear women sound. But I see it says in settings that it is updated.
Are definitons really updated,or?
Thanks.

the popup and voice notification seems to be a bug. you find several posts about it here
