Title: Does anyone know why I can`t update virus signatures?
Post by: Константин122 on March 13, 2021, 08:27:21 AM
I have last updated Avast Premium Security.

And there is a notification that viruses` signatures are not updated.

When I try updating them it fail. I am doing this from the Settings/General/Update window.

What can I do to maintain updated viruses` signatures?

Please, explain, is this a program mistake or I am doing something wrong?

Repair Avast:
1. Avast GUI -> Settings -> Troubleshooting
2. Click on 'REPAIR APP'.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.

Unfortunately, repairing doesn`t help.

Can you tell me, what can I do else?
