Title: Is Avast.com down ?
Post by: boromeo66 on February 26, 2010, 12:58:34 PM

Hi

I just installed Avast free and when i wanted to register , i couldn't connect by the program itself but also can't connect to Avast.com with Firefox and Internet explorer. I tried several times in 2 hours.
I Heard that some idiots (excuse the term) are trying to hack the software., So I am worried.
It's a brand new Windows 7 32 bits installation and I scanned with Avast free, Superantispyware and Malwarebytes free and no trace of infections.


Are there others who can't connect too ? I need to be registered ( I know that i have 30 days through)

BTW it's 2/26/2010 7:00 am eastern time . (GMT-5 here)

Yes, they're down.
Probably some update-work on the server.
Just keep calm and wait a little.

Hi  :)

Don't know if this is just a Coincidence   :-\

But thought something was very odd yesterday... No Definition Updates!   ???

Avast 5 Free .. Normally updates Twice a Day!

Once in the Morning when I first boot up   8)
&
Most Days.. Again in the Evening!

Yesterday! ... Nothing!   :(

Thank God!
When I booted up my laptop this morning... " Your Virus Database Has been Updated " .. OR .. Whatever it is the New Woman says    ;D

You are absolutely right, yesterday there were no updates! Today it again updated to 100225-1 and then 100226-0.

Hi Stran05  :)

Thanks for confirming that it wasn't just my computers ( Laptop & Desktop ) that didn't receive a single Avast 5 - Def Update all day yesterday  :(

Thanks!  ;)

Very slow Avast.com

It doesn't seem that slow for me...

Maybe the slowness could be because of all those people that have now discovered it is online again are browsing it :)
