Cannot Update
« on: July 29, 2012, 08:45:15 PM »
I have Avast Free (version 7.0.1426) and it says I have to update it. I have tried to update the new version (7.0.1456) but haven't succeed. The program is only 'formating' but nothing will happen. The update is jammed.
I have tried to remove the whole Avast, but it is impossible as well. What should I do ??

Try a repair of avast:
XP - Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow.

Vista, win7 - Control Panel, Programs & Features, uninstall a program, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Uninstall/Change and select Repair, click next and follow.

You may need to reboot after the repair.

Then try a manual program update again.

If that gives any errors it may be best to try a clean install of avast 7.0.1456, more on that depending on the outcome of the Repair and manual update attempt.

- Please start a New Topic of your own here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0 (click the New topic button at the top of the page see image) as this is unrelated to the original subject and will just confuse the topic and we will try to help.
