Avast shows old virus definition
« on: September 19, 2012, 07:00:35 PM »
My avast does show definition 120918-2 when 120919 is already out. When I try to download it in avast itself it says I already have 120919, but the main screen shows older one. What I can do with that?

My other pc updated normally.

I have windows XP and avast 7

I am not quite sure if I follow, cause I am czech and my system is also czech, but I try.

EDIT: Thanks it helped! Will it now update normally from now on?

just a moment

does this help ?

google translate

pojdi na krmiljenje, plošče> uninstall program> avast> boste dobili popup okno z možnostjo popraviti ..... počakajte nekaj minut in ponovno zaženite


if not you find google translate here  http://translate.google.no/

Sure. What I'll have to do with it if I still will have the problem anyway?

Edit: Avast updated this morning normally, again, thanks for advice :)
