Have you tried repairing avast and rebooting, if no luck there download the latest version of avast and the removal tool and save then delet avast via remove programs then reboot into safe mode and run the removal tool and reboot again into normal mode and install the new version you downloaded.

If it doesn't work, follow craig's advice and do a clean install.

@ tame33
Please don't post multiple times for the same problem, it just duplicates effort for those trying to help. I have answered your first post, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=83708.0.

I can't update my virus definitions (avast 6.0.1203)
« Reply #9 on: September 01, 2011, 09:00:08 PM »
I need help! I can't update my virus definitions because the program doesn't download the virus definition file "vps_32-586-585.vpx" at all. I've already scanned the computer, re-installed the program but nothing changed. What can I do?

Please, upload (attach) the avast log:
C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\Setup.log
or C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\setup.log

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