Action Center on Windows 7 Reports avast! Antivirus 5 Free is out of date

[danthecomputerman]

I just installed avast! Antivirus 5 Free onto my computer, which is running Windows 7.  After it does the very first update, the Action Center immediately tells me that it is out of date.  When I click on the "Update Now" button, it does nothing.  The message does not disappear from the Action Center.   What is going on here?    Could someone give me help as soon as they can?  That would be really appreciated!

Did you restart after install?

Is your computer time / day / date / year correct? if not adjust and restart

Have you tried avast repair and restart?
For a repair of avast. Windows, Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button from the pop-up window, scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

It could be something as simple as the System time is set wrong.

Alright, everything is OK now.  Yes, I did restart after installation, but all I did then after that was uninstall the email scanner.  Then, everything was normal.  Also, I did have my date, time, and year set correctly.
