Avast 5.0.499 Virus definitions not updated 100412-1
« on: April 13, 2010, 09:09:59 AM »
Hello to all the forum this morning to start pc Avast has been updated definitions from 100412-1 to 100412-2 only that the program always sees the definitions 100412-1 how to solve the problem?

That is below the picture of the home page where Avast tells me that the definitions are not updated and tells me to update



Proceed to do the update and tells me that the definitions are updated to 100412-2



but if I click on OK gives me error message



I admit I had this problem with version 5.0.462 of Avast and resolved at the moment simply uninstalling and reinstalling Avast, but now it seems strange that in less than a week with another version appears the same error!

Accept advice on how to do thanks

Try avast repair and reboot

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.

In the latest versions like 5.0.462 I do not think that there was a chance to repair Avast gave me only Update and Remove in Add / Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel

this is a bug?
it happened to me too (from 462 to 499) and I got the same error message when I try update from the GUI.
the only thing I did to fix this was wait a few seconds and updat again.

No me even continuing to update resolves the problem, the only way is to repair as reported by Pondus
