« on: March 10, 2011, 05:54:25 AM »
Hi there since about Monday this week, l have not been getting definition updates either auto or when l try manually.
1. l have tried straight connection with out my hardware router connected and still nothing.
2. l have no software firewall connected.
3. l have scanned for anti spy-ware programs such as  Adware,Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition these program found and removed spy-ware still nothing after restart of computer each time.
4. l have uninstalled and reinstalled Avast 3 times twice removing the reg keys & other files left behind after using uninstall for a clean start, still nothing.

lam running windows 7 ultimate with SP1 all ready.
have faster cable broadband connection too.

P.S Please see screen shot after l tried to so a manual definitions update

Hi Asyn no that version still does not help me get updates, not sure whats going on l have contacted support they asked me to send them a files so they can look at it waiting on there feedback now, l don't want to be forced to change to another anti - virus suit but if l don't get feedback soon l may have to, l don like to have not updates its like opening the doors of the house!

Hi Craigb,

That didn't work either, the bar gets about half way on the downland yellow and then stops

How do you know the malware has been successfully and completely removed? Honestly, once compromised, it's restore known clean image or reinstall.

Hi there l guess l dont know for sure only trusting the anti spyware programs that they have done there job, just waiting on avast team support now to tell me what they learnt from the avast file they wanted me to give them and from there l hopfuly will know what l needed to do to get avast definitions to once again update other wise l will needed to go another anti virus program or better still a Linux product
