Title: Somebody help me?
Post by: Javakotka on January 25, 2014, 03:24:29 PM

Hey! I've had Avast for a while now and it hasn't done this to me before. The software auto updater tells me to update a software which already has the latest version. E.g Flash Player Active X. Should I ignore this and actually wait until there's really a newer version for the software or is there a way to fix this? Email me with the answer please, or just reply on here.

Try database reset.

Go to Avast! Settings - Tools - Software updater settings. You should see section about database reset there :)
Do it, restart PC and check if it still falsely detects software updates.

This happened last week and was fixed via a vps update.
Check your version against the website (Adobe) to see if the versions match.
If they do then there is nothing to worry about.  :)

Yeah I know that I got the newest version. Just wanted to see if there's a way of fixing this issue with Avast

When a VPS update happens, it will fix it.

38 is the latest for IE
43 is the latest version for all other Mozilla browsers

There is nothing wrong
