What is going on?
First I notice that the virus definitions were 5 days old :o
Now I notice that the last update attempt was in this morning?
What is going on? :(
-
Manual updates are working...
-
C'mon!
avast is "restoring" the 22th of May database? ???
Is there some GUI problem?
-
Also, in the XP virtual machine, avast is NOT updating automatically...
-
No problem here with XP auto updates are working fine, had one a short while ago.
-
Last line of setup.log file...
28.05.2010 09:32:31.000 1275049951 (null) Stopped: 28.05.2010, 09:32:31
The time is today morning...
-
It won't update automatically or manually.
This is what I got one time but it had a different address the previous time:
Last encountered error: Other HTTP error (404), while trying 174.133.198.138:80//iavs5x/servers.def
-
avast continues to NOT update automatically >:(
-
avast is updating automatically in my machine.
I had one automatic update one minute ago. ::)
maybe the problem is in the update interval of 15 minutes :-\
I have the VPS 100529-1
-
maybe the problem is in the update interval of 15 minutes :-\
I have changed to 30 minutes.
But if it is so short, avast should block "one" update, not all of them...
-
Again, manually it works. Automatic not.
-
You're Right. ::)
If you use the default settings on updates settings you have this problem?
Have you tried?
-
either of mine was not updating today
until just now...all is good

What are the "default" settings?
Last line in the setup.log:
29.05.2010 19:03:27.000 1275170607 (null) Stopped: 29.05.2010, 19:03:27Nothing automatically is working :P

<snip>
The default Update, Proxy setting is Auto detect (use the IE settings), so change to No proxy if you don't already have that set and don't use a proxy.

1st situation: auto detect. Result: no automatic updates.
Actual situation: no proxy. Result: the same, no automatic updates.

I was just conforming what the default was really. I have no idea why this is happening as the No Proxy seting usually resolves this problem.

Any other suggestion?
I hate when we do not receive help when we can't do it by ourselves.

Well having gone over the topic again opening the images, I didn't before, I see a glaring error (depends on your connection method) in your second image, you have the Update Parameters set to Dial-up. If you have broadband, which I think is the case then this would likely fail auto updates.

Good. I'll test it. I've missed it.
But the update period should work regardless the connection type.
-
David. You've saved my day.
It was that precisely. avast auto updated automatically now.
-
You're welcome, sometimes it is the obvious that gets missed.
The update period would probably still be hunting for a dial-up connection and I don't know if it would ignore the fact that you have a broadband connection.
-
Confirmed. It's working.
-
Good news for a change then ;D

Hi I'm using Avast from some time and I really like it. Unfortunately it stopped automatic updates since I went to the latest version. It was last updated on 21 of May, when I did the last manual update.
I tried reinstalling and it didn't help. There is no error, it just won't update it automatically, even thought all automatic updates are scheduled. Computer is running for many hours a day so there shouldn't a problem with that.
-
Archibald, can you post screenshots of all your update settings?
Proxy, update period, way you connect the Internet...
And also your system configuration? (firewall, operational system...).
