:(Problem:
Each time I boot up my computer I get the avast warning
"The last attempt to update your virus definitions was unsuccessful...update again"
or words to that effect.
When I click on Update button from pop up it opens a dialogue box which (sometimes) has automatically started "updating". It only takes 4s which is not convincing.
Then I click on OK, it comes up with Update Engine and virus definitions - click and again only 5s despite being step 1/2
Update Program, (Step 1/3), click on that, takes 13s.
None of this is getting me anywhere.
What can I do to get round this loop?
How vulnerable is my computer right now?
Windows 7 Ultimate
Firefox
