v 4.0 Will NOT update?

[steve shakeshaft]

Hi, I have noticed my installation of Antivirus is not updating automatically, despite definitely being set to do so.  I have v4.0.  I have tried using VpsUpd.exe, avast! version 4.1 and VpsUpd40.exe, avast! version 4.0 neither of them will work.  the one for version 4.0 says "download the update for a later version.  The one for v4.1 says "this is for a later version, upgrade to a newer version".  So I cannot update my protection and I am worried.  My OS is Win XP running on a Athlon 2000+ system.  What can I do please?  Thank you.

Regards

I have tried using VpsUpd.exe, avast! version 4.1 ... The one for v4.1 says "this is for a later version, upgrade to a newer version".  

This will not work, VpsUpd.exe file version 4.0 and 4.1 are incompatible.

The one for version 4.0 says "download the update for a later version.

Try to do a full update (programa + VPS file)...

So I cannot update my protection and I am worried.  My OS is Win XP running on a Athlon 2000+ system.  What can I do please?  Thank you.

If you cannot update by last option, try a full download of the 4.1.280 setup file. I use a similar computer and everything is going right.

Btw, do you use any firewall or proxy?

Edit: See kubecj correction (version 4.1.280).
What do you mean for your post steve? You quoted me but say nothing...  :'(

Thank you, I shall do what you suggest.  I have the XP firewall and Zonealarm 3.7 but no proxy server.

If you cannot update by last option, try a full download of the 4.1.268 setup file. I use a similar computer and everything is going right.

I have uninstalled completely and installed the latest available version.  Seems OK now.  Thanks.
