Why not just update to the latest version..??

[alexyeoh_leo85]

if no need update new version and still support avast version 6.0, can or not?
because my pc is lower specs. just pentium 3 800mhz.
if install to avast 7.0, when boot up windows very slowly..

Upgrade from what ?
Why are you doing a manual VPS update ?

That error show most likely a corrupt download/install. Try again and download the vpsupd.exe

Search the forum... There were some 6.x version with update issues, maybe yours is one of them.
Why aren't you upgrading?

I am also having this same problem continuously, I get the same error "this vps database requires latest program version" .....but on 4 days ago i have updated with this vps package and today when i formated my pc and re-install avast and try to update it gives this error.
what is the actual problem I cant figure out, the vps package is only 4 days old .....cant we use older vps package so that avast should update offline and then we can use the internet to update virus definitions to the recent date ........I want to manually update in offline mode because my internet bandwidth is limited .
Kindly elaborate all the terms and conditions which is associated with vps update . the program that am using is avast free 6.0.1203
4 days earlier i updated avast with the same vps package and suddenly i see that 4 days later after re-installation the same vps package starts to give this error "this vps database requires latest program version" WHAT IS THE PROBLEM    AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG
cant we use an old vps package so that we can update in offline mode to save our internet bandwidth ??  KINDLY HELP

I got the FBI Virus by opening an email. And usually I don't open emails from people that I don't know. I had someone install different anti-viruses from remote, because I am not computer savvy enough to download these viruses.  And I was afraid of  having errors, because of incorrectly downloading and installing.Do you think that allowing an[http:/www.livetechondemand.com] anti-virus remote technician[http:/www.livetechondemand.com] to install these devices is more or less helpful? Or is there an easier download version of an anti-virus you have for use?  Please  help.   Thanks!

the program that am using is avast free 6.0.1203
