When i switched on my computer I've got a little red shield icon on my task bar. When I click on it it says that avast! antivirus 4.7.1029 might be out of date. I then click on 'start' then 'All programmes and then avast antivirus. I then get a small black box come up that looks a bit like a car stereo! There is a 'lightening icon' which says - update the virus database. I have clicked on this and after a few seconds it tells me that it has updated.
My problem is that I have still got the little red shield icon on my task bar. Have i done something wrong or is there something I haven't done?
As you can see from my question, I would like any help in 'simple terms' please!!! x
I don't use Avast myself but I suggest updating via the icon, instead of from Start>All programs. i.e. double-click the icon. That should launch a panel with an update option.
