Having used the avast for mac demo successfully for a couple of days, i found that it could not access updates this morning. Thinking it might have expired, I purchased a one year licence, but still no updates. I have restarted the computer, re-launched avast and agent - still no luck. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?Hallo, this is strange - when firing update manually (the big button "Check Update"), is it still not available?What the upgate does is accessing http://files.avast.com/files/latest/mac/400.vpsPlease, try whether the URL is accessible or not. regards,pc
I have that issue, too and reported it a time ago... Anyhow,I could circumvent that by createing a firewall rule that allows to have direct access to http: (TCP Port 80) and maybe https (TCP Port 443) for download.ff.avast.com.I hope that helps for now and much more I hope that proxy servers are supported within one of the next betas Regards95.211.90.158
Dear SirsIn Avast 7.0 (37781), update through proxy server is still not working on my iMac (late 2006, OS 10.7.5 (11G63)). Proxy is configured for http, https, ftp, rtsp, and gopher but not for socks in our company. Error log is essentially the same as above described. Is there any way to edit the proxy server setting directly, to download virus definition directly, or to copy virus definition files from other machines. Sincerely.
Hallo,in the fact, we support proxy though the environment variable "http_proxy". Unfortunatelty, MacOS doesn't propagate system preferences's state there, so it's up on the user.More info here: http://fuzzy76.net/147/mac-os-x-tips/regards,pc

Unfortunatelty, MacOS doesn't propagate system preferences's state there, so it's up on the user.More info here: http://fuzzy76.net/147/mac-os-x-tips/regards,pcThank you, zilog for the information. Unfortunately it didn't help me. I created ~/profile as described in http://fuzzy76.net/147/mac-os-x-tips/, and then edit sudoers. In terminal bash said "etc/http_proxy; there is no such files or directory". Then I tried another way. I edit ~/.profile as "export http_proxy=http://server name:8080 export HTTP_PROXY=http://server name:8080"In terminal, command "echo $http_proxy" returns "server name:8080", so environment variable "http_proxy" seemed to be set correctly. But Avast show the same error log as before. Is there anything else to do?
