Post by: Omid Farhang on April 21, 2011, 09:42:46 AM: Just double click to run the database, it's not needed to copy it somewhere special.
Download it to a removable media, connect to your laptop and run it.

Post by: Zyndstoff (aka Steven Gail) on April 21, 2011, 09:56:41 AM: Any reason for not updating to the new program version 6.0.1091?

And: is the AIS on your laptop registered already?

Post by: Omid Farhang on April 21, 2011, 09:59:14 AM: I've no idea, If you download right file and no kind of protection or sandbox avoided setup being run correctly it should update your Antivirus database. ???

He is using the AIS version 5, so maybe he has not yet registered since he installed the laptop anew -> the 30 days trial period may have past by?

Yes, that is what I said: Avast 5. That is the one with the update problem? That is registered?

Anyway: why don't you update the program version to 6.0.1091?

Post by: Omid Farhang on April 21, 2011, 10:20:31 AM: No way to do an online update?

Post by: Zyndstoff (aka Steven Gail) on April 21, 2011, 10:26:30 AM: You can not update online via the GUI?

The installer can be downloaded by clicking on the blue AIS in my signature. Just install over the existing version, do not uninstall first.

On "Maintenance" - "Update" there is the button "Update Program". That does not work?

Post by: krypton on April 21, 2011, 10:30:00 AM: its 75 mb file. what is that? is that installer to update program or its ais installer?
Title: Re: copy and paste db
Post by: Zyndstoff (aka Steven Gail) on April 21, 2011, 10:39:11 AM: It's the AIS installer.
It will perform an update of your program version from 5 to 6.0.1091.

Sorry for late answer - connection problems here...

Aaaahhh... now we are getting somewhere.

So the laptop normally should have internet access, but it stopped working and you think there might be a virus infection. Is that right?

I do not know that.

But virus db updates are incremental, so they should be small and also work on dial up in due time.

I really recommend to updating to program 6.0.1091.
You can download on your PC the AIS from my sig and copy it to a stick and run it on the laptop as well.
I think this will also solve the problem of displaying the wrong information about virus-db.

Post by: Lisandro on April 21, 2011, 04:03:15 PM: Please, upload (attach) the avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\setup.log
(or the shorter C:\Users\All Users\Alwil Software\Avast5\log\Setup.log).

If the file is too big for the forum, post the last 400-500 lines of it.
