Well...it says:
Avast! Ver 4.1 Home edition:
Version: Jan2004(4.1.432)
VPS File:
Data di Compilazione (Compilation data): 21.01.2004
Version File: 0401-0
(I have the italian Version of the program)
This problem come up some days ago. It is not a problem of the new version of the avast because on other machines the Auto Update works correctly.
I think that somewere there is a file (may be the servers.def.stamp) that interfere with the update process.
When I try to update manually, the Bar under "Dawnloading File: Servers.def.stamp" says 100% but the avast has not accessede the internet. It seems that it has loaded the file locally.
Then, nothing happens in that window (for more than 10 minutes). I can only press "cancel".
I tried to update the VPS manually by downloading the last version relased on 29.01.2004. When i try to update it says that i am trying to update the avast with an older version of the VPS.
It is strange.
