So for those asking and still using avast 6, just wait a little longer to update directly to the new program version (that is, once the definitions update problem is corrected in your systems with the use of the special fix tool).
Just an addendum because at least to me it was not entirely clear: once you run the Utility there comes up the dialogue with the options yes and no. This is the question for the PROGRAM update. Dont mistake it for immediate update of virusdatabase definitions.
In short: if you want to continue to use version 6 and not update to version 7, click NO in the dialogue. And THEN do a definition update manually.
I think the box I saw was different to this, as when I ran the updatefix I was already using Avast 7, just couldn't get new updates for it.
And the box said something about the problem having been fixed, and did I want to run the fix anyway.
Could it had something to do with it, that I clicked to update Avast in the Avast UI screen, it was stuck at the initializing... point, I closed the UI, then clicked to run the updatefix without cancelling the update attempt before closing the UI?
Has anyone else seen the small dialogue box saying that the issue has been solved already?
(Not the one that says you don't have error 11, the one I saw was different)
