Title: [Resolved] Package is broken.
Post by: eskiboy on November 29, 2010, 02:24:54 PM
Got an error message today saying the package is broken when trying to update to the latest virus definitions. Tried updating manually, but it says everything is up to-date.

I do not use Vista as I had many problems with it and that is why I updated to Windows 7.

Right. Everything seems to have sorted itself out. I have restated my computer a couple of times during the day and was still getting the same message. I was just about to do a complete re-install of Avast. As i turned my pc on came with the a message saying virus definitions updated. Confusing stuff.

Windows ME worked a heck of a lot better than Visa for me.

@ eskiboy,

Sometimes these things happen.  The best thing to do in this type of situation is to just reboot your machine.  If this fails to work, then just wait for the next update and this usually fixes itself.  Not to worry.  ;)

Now that your issue is resolved/fixed, please go back to the first open post in this topic, click the modify button in that Post and change the title/subject, add [Resolved] to the beginning of the title so this thread can be closed.
