Title: Windows security center
Post by: Daphnej on August 17, 2005, 09:02:10 PM

My windows security center keeps on telling me that my Avast is not up to date, yet I when I try to update Avast it tells me that I am running the current version.  Should I just use the option in windows security that I will monitor the antivirus program myself?

NO, check your system date particularly the month and year and correct if necessary.

If it is correct do a manual update of avast!

Changing the date and time.  I was on the wrong time zone and my computer thought it was September 17th.

 :)  To Daphnej & others :

      For those with XP SP2 & its "Security Center", it is best to
      select the "Monitor the Antivirus Program myself" setting
      based on the pcworld.com article at :  www.pcworld.com/
      news/article/0,aid,119376,tk,021105a,00.asp .
      I think I saw a news item somewhere that Microsoft
      "fixed" the "problem" mentioned in the article, but
       who knows !?

Thanks for your reply.  I haven't had any problem since resetting my date and time but if the issue pops up again, I would probably just monitor it myself as it seems that Avast updates itself quite regularly.
