Serious problem with avast update
« on: February 23, 2012, 06:26:12 PM »
Avast shows a red notice, saying that a new program update is avaliable. I click on it to update and after one minute it says that the program is already updated! The red notice doesn't disappear, what's appening?

What avast version do you have 6.0.1367 or the current beta 7.0.1401  (and that is trying to update to the RC build 7.0.1403) ?

If the latter hold fire as people are having problems after subsequent update.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

I have avast 6.0.1367 and suddenly I saw that red notice. I updated the program but avast said that my version was already updated...now the red notice  has disappeared, after about 20 minutes. I don't know what's happening to my avast, I have also problems with web rep but nobody has given me a solution.. others people are having this problem with web rep, there are a lot of topic here in the forum regarding this issue...

Have you rebooted since the update as that is required ?

I'm trying to attach a shot but the forum gives me an error message. I try to explain you: this windows of avast is a list of alla the new improvement of avast 7. there is the notice "click here to finish" at the end of the list. I click on it and the windows disappears, but when i restart my pc this windows appears again

You keep posting all over the forum. Please stop.

There is a new aswclear available, compatible with avast 7. Download Run it for avast 7 and for avast 6. Download the latest stable version of avast 7 (final). It should solve you problems.

Be aware to have a copy of your license file.

I'm encountering the same problem. The splash screen that showed up after the first reboot the update was needed for, showed up again after I rebooted the second time, asking me to click finish again, even though I did that. The checkbox saying "Participate in the Avast Community" also shows up checked, even though I unchecked it.

Exactly my point. Clean all your previous installations and start clean. Read again my post above and follow the instructions (and don't forget that aswclear7 should be executed under Windows Safe Mode).
