bad definition update notices
« on: June 15, 2019, 10:40:13 PM »
Windows notifications and Avast (Free) itself, is telling me multiple times a day that I need to update my virus definitions.
When I check the status of the definitions, they are up to date almost every time.

Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix this?

This out of sync condition (as I call it) when what is reported doesn't match what is on the system.  This has frequently been resolved by doing an Avast Repair.
