Avast 7 update problem
« on: August 05, 2012, 05:09:28 AM »
HI

I am having problems with regards to updating Avast 7 free.

I installed it yesterday and when I was updating it for the first time, it took a long time before it completed compared to Avast 6 which only took about 10 seconds. I tried updating it again an hour later and it wont update.

So today, I googled solutions to it, did the switch from "Auto-detect proxy" to "No proxy" in the Update settings - update failed.

I also uninstalled using the Avast uninstall utility (aswclear.exe) then reinstalled Avast again - still no update. Any help to this one? I dont want to use other AV's as Avast is the lightest so far.

Setup.log attached. :D

Yup, already switched to "direct connection (no proxy)" option ~ still not updating.
