Just double click to run the database, it's not needed to copy it somewhere special.
Download it to a removable media, connect to your laptop and run it.

Any reason for not updating to the new program version 6.0.1091?

And: is the AIS on your laptop registered already?

I've no idea, If you download right file and no kind of protection or sandbox avoided setup being run correctly it should update your Antivirus database.  ???

He is using the AIS version 5, so maybe he has not yet registered since he installed the laptop anew -> the 30 days trial period may have past by?

Yes, that is what I said: Avast 5. That is the one with the update problem? That is registered?

Anyway: why don't you update the program version to 6.0.1091?

You can not update online via the GUI?

The installer can be downloaded  by clicking on the blue AIS in my signature. Just install over the existing version, do not uninstall first.

On "Maintenance" - "Update" there is the button "Update Program". That does not work?
