Alright here goes with the update.....

I did everything on the list above.......Still have the same 3 viruses that avast finds.


WINDOWS UPDATED!!!!!!  47 updates installed for Windows....



HOWEVER.....unfortunately avast will still not update it either gives me an error that it cannot connect to the server, or an error that the file is not found.


Attached is the setup log that was requested. as much of it as it would let me upload.

If you have done every step and windows is updating too. I'm glad that seems your windows is clean now. now try to reinstall avast:

1. If you use avast! Pro or Internet Security make sure you have license info to reinstall
2. Uninstall avast: http://sites.google.com/site/boelectronic/computer/how-to/change-installed-antivirus/avast
3. Download latest setup from avast website and install: http://www.avast.com/download-software#tab2

From your log file you appear to be running AIS version 5.0.594 (so is it AIS or Pro as Omid asks?), so your program is also out of date as the latest is 5.0.677.

So you should download the latest program version and do a clean reinstall.

- Download and save the program to a location where you can find it later:
Pro AV:  - http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_pro.exe
AIS:      - http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_ais.exe

- Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe find it here and save it to your HDD (it has uninstall tools for both 4.8 and 5.0).
  • 1. Now uninstall avast! (using add remove programs, if you can't do that start from the next step), reboot.
  • 2. run the avast! Uninstall Utility from safe mode, first for 4.8 if previously installed and then for 5.0, once complete reboot into normal mode.
  • 3. install the latest version, reboot.

Ok, I'm not too savy with the terms that are being explained about what version I have.

I use the avast FREE edition.

I'm also trying to figure out once I uninstall and re-install the new one....how do I get my registration key to put into the new one.


Thanks again for all the help guys...

If you use free edition, you can register a new key, don't worry.
