Hi

I've tried restarting the computer and turning Avast off and on, it won't update. It gave me this log, can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Set your proxy settings (into avast update settings) to none instead of automatic and test.

I don't see anything called "proxy settings" in preferences, where do I go for that? I don't see any settings for Avast Update.

I don't know what version you're using but there is literally no such option on mine.

Same problem here. Avast won't update and there is no option to disable proxy settings on my version of Avast on Mac. Any ideas?

Can someone please help us? I really have no idea what to do. Should I uninstall and reinstall?

I found this thread which seemed to have a similar issue:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=97067.0

So I did that command ps -Awwl and got the attached .txt output. I also tried the second part, but it said that 86 wasn't in the sudo file and that the "incident would be reported", whatever that means.

Okay this is that second line from that thread I tried:
Code: [Select]
sudo rm -rf ''/Library/Application Support/Avast/files/Setup/filedir/vpsmac.locked'
But it just gave me some weird error that "the incident will be recorded". Rebooting did not resolve the problem.

So, I just uninstalled completely, re-downloaded, rebooted, then reinstalled. It seems to be working now, but I'd still like to know what is going on with this (and also if I should be worried if the above code could have broken something).

Thank you

I'm still having issues with this. Any help? Am I the only Avast Mac user that can't update the software?

Paste the update log here. In the case that the lock-related line is still here, you didn't apparently remove the lock.
In all other cases, the log will explain a little bit more what's your network problem.

Using the command line posed here didn't work.

I uninstalled and reinstalled avast which seems to have fixed the issue.
