hi im just having a little problem everything was fine till i i realised i had the wrong time and date in my computer so i changed it to the right time and now avast wont update how can i change the time and date in avast.?

You shouldn't have to change the date and time in avast it gets it from the system time. I would suggest a reboot and then try a manual update.

You say it won't update, can you be a little more detailed, e.g. what errors are displayed, etc. ?

when i turn my computer on a red box comes up in the corner and says avast could not be updated please change your time and date

When you changed your computer's date, did you advance the date and if so, by how many days/months?

I suspect this to be a hardware error rather than an Avast problem.
You need to renew the cmos battery on your motherboard.

you could try to delete and reinstall avast and enter a new license key - (system time has to be correct when you enter the licence key)
probably just inserting a new license key could also solve the problem...
