Title: i still can not updat eavast 5 though proxy
Post by: ggh7390217 on July 01, 2010, 07:03:23 PM
i deleted avast 4.8 pro and installed  avast internet security 5.0.545,use same proxy setup ,but i can not update 5.0 automataic or mannuly.i am sure that the proxy seting up and authentication is correct,i tried many times ,but failed
The systerm is windws 7
But it works without the proxy
my proxy set up is like this:
                                                                      HTTP
                                                                      10.1.44.111   port:80
                                                                      authority (basic)
                                                                      account:*****
                                                                       pwd:      ******


At the end of manual update i saw errors: HTTP 000  then,HTTP 407,at last HTTP error (0)
Is there somebody know why? How can i do?
Thanks a lot

OK! But it can not updated by avast itself,
I know i can download the new version of avast through internet and install the new software again
But is there some way easier to update this software from 5.0.545 to 5.0.594??

Wont the update button into the avast interface work?
If not, I suggest an installation from scratch:

1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html) and save it.
2. Download the latest avast! (http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html) version and save it.
3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you've run it.
5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
7. Check and post the results.

OK! I have downloaded the version of 5.0.594 and installed completely according what you said!
But it still has the same problem,can not update through my proxy just like the old version.
So i think using the latest version can not solve my problem
any idea ?

Update it outside your office, or check back your proxy settings with your admin..!

GGH I am in the same boat as you (not literally lol)

Ok I had this problem show up again on 2 of my PC's in my LAN...
It looks as though updating thru proxy on these 2 PC's is broken...

[I have Endian Firewall (EFW) sitting on my perimeter so port 80 and 445 are blocked, i update thru squid proxy with authentication enabled]

all other PC's can update thru proxy using auth.  But these 2 particular PC's do not get through Proxy...error http 407 and or 403 All clients are XP SP3.
when I look through my avast setup.log I can see that avast is still trying to connect using port 80 instead of using my proxy...

These 2 particular PC's have been Repaired using the Windows CD, I am wondering now if that has something to do with it.

The really weird thing is that I opened port 80 on my EFW and then switched avast updates to no proxy and it works...
I cannot leave port 80 open as this will allow all users access to http, I MUST restrict users from the internet by blocking that port...

I have done numerous un-installs re-installs but I keep getting the same problem...tried with newer program versions same thing.
So it looks as though Avast proxy updating may get broken (maybe when you do a Windows repair) and there is no way (that i know of) to fix avast using a proxy once it's broken.
Avast may need to fix this...

My system is the latest version of Win7 Ultimate .~~~~~~~~What make avast think it's vista ?

what is "internet: SYNCER: Auth: no authentication" meaning?

Because that is what your avast log file is reporting (the part that Asyn quoted in his) as your OS version. Now avast should be able to detect and report win7 as it is compatible with win7.
