AVAST Free 2014 will not update
« on: December 02, 2013, 01:29:39 AM »
I tried to update the program today.  The progress bar will go no further than the step 1 initializing step.  I tried to download the program and when I try to install it stalls at the self-extra step.  Has been sitting with the small box and the circle with the rays just swing around the circle.
Any ideas?.
