Does the avast software gives some warming/error when you are updating the definitions?
You can also try to download the signatures manually. http://www.avast.com/download-update

Is the time and date correct on your machine?

Have you tried an Avast Repair:
- Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > Avast Antivirus.
- Scroll down and choose Repair function in the pop-up window.
- Reboot.

Let us know if this fixes your problem.  If not, please let us know what other security software you have on this machine (antivirus version, firewall, other security software - currently and in the past and how you uninstalled them).  Thank you.
