Avast free - Updating

[Asyn]

OK, report back.

I will certainly let you know if my updating resume on automatic. It may take a while, but you deserve to know. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Repair Avast:
1. Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs -> Avast
2. Click on 'Repair'.
3. Follow instructions.
4. Reboot.

I do  not have a "repair" only "remove" or "change".

Is this a multi option single button (as used in old OS versions) ?
Using/selecting the Change option will display another window that should have Repair on that.

Thank you so much David for your help. Yes, when I clicked "change" the Avast screen came up and "repair" was on it. I clicked "repair" and it went through like a dream. Seems all OK  and fully updated. We will see now if it automatically updates. I have checked the "enable streaming updates".

You're welcome.

Please stick with your own topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=199843.0 and not post in multiple topics.

Posting in your topic has the function of:
1.  Bringing it to the top of the chronological order.
2.  It also sends notifications to those who have posted in that topic, that there are new posts.
3.  It keeps all of the information in one place.

You should have got one such notification as I have posted in your own topic.

I  promised to report back and here it is.

As of 4/4 my Avast is  up-to-date on virus definitions and program. I have not done any  updating so it must now be automatic and  working normal.

I would like to particularly thank Asyn for the suggestion made to "repair"  the program. I am  absolutely certain this cured the problem.

But thanks to you all for your generous replies to my post.

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.
