I continue to receive messages from AVAST that I need to update the software. When I allow the software to be updated the AVAST software tells me that I have the lastest version of the software. A few hours later we go through this exercise again.
How can I make that message go away?
Thanks!
More than likely, the culprit is the setup.ovr file which is in the Setup folder of the Avast directory. I have the same issue with Internet Suite as well. The only way so far that I can get this to work is:
- Uninstall the old version first, download the newer version and install it
- Reboot into safe mode with networking, go to the Control Panel->Programs and do the update from the Avast Uninstall/Update icon
I have a support ticket filed on this. I don't know what has the setup.ovr file locked but hopefully, they'll figure it out soon. It seems like not everyone has the problem though, so it has to be something that I setup on my machine. Maybe Malwarebytes?
