If the problem persists, reinstall Avast Antivirus using the Avast Uninstaller utility, then download and install the latest version from the official website.
How to fix Avast Antivirus not updating?
Ans: Make sure your device is connected to the Internet and able to access Avast's update servers. Check if Avast's auto-update feature is enabled in the program settings. Otherwise, manually check for updates by opening Avast, going to the "Settings" menu and selecting "Update." If updates fail to download or install, try temporarily disabling your firewall or antivirus software to rule out any conflicts.

Ans: Check the Avast virus vault (quarantine) for any files or programs that have been blocked or moved. If you trust the file or program, you can restore it from the virus vault and add it to Avast's exclusion list to avoid future blocking. Check if the file or program is digitally signed by a trusted source and scan it for malware using Avast's on-demand scanning feature. Adjust Avast sensitivity settings in the program preferences as necessary to reduce false positives.
