I do have avast.setup to have an application rule and 'allow' it as only client to connect to internet.
See the attached pic. As I replied you in Sygate forum Chris, I would not disable any usefull Sygate features like antiapplication hijacking, just to get the automatic VPS updates work.
Thanks for the reply and apologies for not responding to your Sygate forum post..
It's not the VPS (!AVS Update) updates that are the problem, these work fine and completely in the background.
It's only when the program itself needs to be
updated that it becomes an issue.[/font]
As said, I only disabled the Anti-Application Hijacking to test the automatic program updating and once that completed OK I reinstated it. I certainly wouldn't run without it.
Does your advanced rule work for the program updates as well as the VPS updates?
I used Sygate for about 6 months. I have never have to disable any feature to get automatic updates... They worked like a charm for me...
Thanks, but again I refer to the fact that it's only program updates that cause a problem, not the VPS updates, and this seems quite common from reading various posts on the Sygate forum.
