(Hope this isn't a duplicate topic, I looked around a bit and threads with similar titles seemed to be having slightly different issues)
So, it looks like my Avast last updated in February. I'm pretty sure it was set up to update automatically which is why I hadn't really been paying attention to it.
When I go into the Maintenance: Update section, it tells me there's a new version available. When I click the "Update Program" button, it briefly says "Updating" and "Initializing" and shows the little progress bar, then almost immediately it stops and goes to this instead:
"Engine and definitions: Already up to date (current version 100228-0)
Program: Already up to date (current version 5.0.377)
Total time: 1 s
Download time: 1 s
Downloaded files: 0 (0.00 KB)
Server unknown (unknown)"
When I click "OK" it goes back to the screen that says "Current version: 5.0.377
A new version of the program is available! Latest program version: 5.0.418"
So then I click "Update Program" and the same thing happens again.
As you can all probably tell by now, I'm not extremely computer literate. I might know a bit more than the stereotypical, entirely ignorant user, but I still need things explained to me in fairly simple terms.
Thanks in advance for your help!
