Does anyone know why I can`t update virus signatures?
« on: March 13, 2021, 08:27:21 AM »
I have last updated Avast Premium Security.

And there is a notification that viruses` signatures are not updated.

When I try updating them it fail. I am doing this from the Settings/General/Update window.

What can I do to maintain updated viruses` signatures?

Please, explain, is this a program mistake or I am doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, repairing doesn`t help.

Can you tell me, what can I do else?

Download and run as admin: https://install.avcdn.net/vps18/vpsupd.exe

It works. Thank you!

Can you explain, what is it and how can I find this tool to read about it more information?
