Can't update definitions
« on: December 01, 2010, 01:05:47 PM »
Hi,

I have been unable to update to latest definitions since 25/11. I am using free version of avast! - program 5.0.0677 and current version of definitions is 101125-2.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 with the built-in firewall. I have tried manually updating but it always stops about halfway through and then a vista message pops up saying avast! update has stopped working and has been closed down. I have downloaded the latest definitions from avast! website but when try to install it tells me that I already have latest VPS database? I have also tried repairing and updating avast! via control panel>programs and feature but to no avail.

I've never had any problem updating previously - will I have to re-install the whole thing? Or can anyone suggest anything else to try?

Many thanks

Please, upload (attach) the avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\setup.log
(or the shorter C:\Users\All Users\Alwil Software\Avast5\log\Setup.log).

If the file is too big for the forum, post the last 400-500 lines of it.

Hi,

Re-booting the machine doesn't do anything.

I've attached what you requested (I think) - couldn't find 'setup.log' but found 'setup' in the same location - guessing it's the same thing.

Anything else needed please let me know

Thanks again

Sorry, can't read your Japanese setup.log...
Did you use the shorter version? Can you try the long (the first) one?

Japanese? On my pc it is in english - any idea why it would be showing as japanese to you? All I did was copy and paste last section of file into new one.

I've tried again using same method - won't let me upload entire log as it exceeds limit

Thanks

Yep I've just seen it come up in japanese when I opened it on this forum - why is this happening?

Maybe it's being corrupted because you're changing the file extension.

Part vps_win32-10120100 is installed

It says that the current defs are installed.  Maybe it's just reporting it wrong.  Have you tried a repair?

I tried repairing it and it comes up with error message "Error processing packages. Please use full update"

I looked at the log for this error and have copied it below - any advice much appreciated:

Anything else on your computer acting strange lately?

It seems odd that it just stopped working after a while.  You could try doing a complete uninstall re-install of avast with the help of the Avast removal tool: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

Or maybe you have some memory going bad or something?

Yeah... but that is not the end of the log, it's in the middle.
Besides, there are two different logs as far I can see (see the dates of both).
