Title: Software Updater Hangs On Installing New Version Of Java
Post by: REDACTED on June 16, 2014, 04:48:20 AM
Avast free 2014 9.0.2018

I got a pop up saying there was a critical update for Java Runtime Environment 7 (32 bit)  new version: 7.0.600.19.
I clicked ‘update’ for the software updater to install it, but the updater is hung on "preparing".

I reset the database (like you suggested in another post), (open avast! --> Settings --> Tools --> Software Updater Customize --> Reset database now), but this did NOT work. 

any other suggestions?

TIA! :)

edit:  i should mention that i had this same issue a few weeks back with the update of Flash Player ActiveX (which finally resolved itself).
