[SOLVED]interrupted with error 7005

[Ovidiu]

scanning an USB stick I got the error in this thread's title.

here is a screen shot of it: http://screencast.com/t/PcE21vqoEP

RUNNING ON Mac Lion with latest updates as well as the latest Avast for Mac version.

P.S. aren't there any settings for Avast to update itself?

[Ovidiu]

Oh, it seems I have no virus definitions? see here: http://screencast.com/t/WeuzBnjh9

Thanks for report.

Probably something bad has happened to the scanning engine.
Could you take a look if there is some crash report in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/?
Also please provide the following log files:

• /var/log/system.log
• /var/log/daemon.log

(They may be large, upload just relevant parts from the time the problem occurred....)

[Ovidiu]

See my second post here, I really think I am missing virus definitions => http://screencast.com/t/WeuzBnjh9 or does that look the same on your system?

- No crash report in here: Library/Logs/CrashReporter/?

Here is the system.log fitlered for the string "avast"

btw. I do hope Avast is able to determine my home directory because I have changed mine, see here:

This should not be the problem.

Problem solved by simply waiting until Avast did the automatic update and now I have got VPS: http://screencast.com/t/wyT6NGB0sxY
though I'd love to have some settings regarding the update frequency in general...

[REDACTED]

I have avast 8.0 installed on my iMac with OS X 10.9.2
When I try to run avast I get an error 7005 with the remarks that the Engine cannot be connected (red dot) and on the other shields I get the yellow triangle.
I cab nou run/us avast

Hello,
  probably the best solution is to uninstall Avast and install it from the fresh.
