Gneiman,
I sent you a pvt message but I guess you did not get it.
Anyway, it sounds like the VPS DB has been corrupted.
Can you manually do a program update? (not the DB)
Do any other functions from the main skin work?
Can you go into the chest and see if system files are listed?
What operating system are you using?
Has your Avast been updated before today?
