Hi to everyone,
I've recently installed avast on my Mac (OSX 10.4) and I have immediately found a problem: when I push the button "check for update", after some minutes the software says that there was an error "vps" and it create a file named "400.vps.bad" (I think a registry file) on the desktop... someone can help me?
Ps. I have found a similar problem with Clamxav...

Hallo, there might be two reasons of this, in general:
- bad connectivity (= truncated/malformed 400.vps was downloaded)
- temporary desync at our servers (in this case, more retries will be succesful, because the desync exists usually exists on a limited subset of our servers at the moment, and has a transient nature anyway).
please, check it more times (each retry asks a randomly chosen pair of servers), and in the case of stable buggy behavior, let me know.
regards,
PC

I tried again to check for updates, and this time avast was successfully updated... it's all right! ;D
Thanks for the help Zillog!
