Did you try what I suggested in the other post - Check your system date, day/month/year and adjust as required.

Since you have the latest update that is the most common cause incorrect system date.

Because it's already up to date...!
Try a manual update, it could solve it.

Actually Avast has this bug it happens to me plenty of time and its happening to many people now.

Here is the link

The fix is rebooting the system and w8 for next update.

I never had that problem, and the same thing for most of the users. normally a bug of this type(if it was a bug) will act in most of the systems.

My misunderstanding.  However a simple reboot or restart will resolve this problem in the meantime.
