app not updating virus definitions

The problem your image shows is about updating the virus definitions.
Restart your system and see if that resolves it, if not try an Avast Repair, AvastUI > Menu > General > Troubleshooting > APP Repair.  Restart your system after the repair.

DL and install updates multiple times, multiple restarts, app repairs, nothing stops this.  What's the problem?

It fixed the "not protected" error in about 20 seconds.  What is it?  Why did I have to come here to get it?

The vpsupd.exe is the full virus definitions update installation file.

So I gotta manually update Avast now because it can't do it itself?

Let's hope the full virus definitions update fixed it.

I had almost the same problem last week when it finally accepted the update after several tries.

If it should happen again, report back.

Since the Avast Repair hasn't completely resolved this issue, since there is a very recent program update try downloading the offline program installation file for your avast program (Free or Premium) from this Topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=255221.0 and run that.
