I'd say something is blocking the avast.setup process from accessing the Internet.

This is commonly a firewall blocking the update process.
What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?
- If it does delete the entries for it and do a manual update, this will force the firewall to ask permission again.

A reinstall won't resolve the problem if your firewall blocks it again.
Please answer the questions ?
Then follow the instruction about deleting the entry in your firewall if applicable.

Out of your 3 posts on this topic, this seems the most current, so I'll ask again.
What was your previous anti virus and how was it removed.
What 3 avast enteries are in your firewall?
Without these answers, we are onlt guessing.

It's not necessary. avast manages the servers automatically to achieve balance between them.
The problem should be at the firewall level...
