Hi,
I'm using Avast since a couple days ago and from the very first day I had some major problems with the update. In another topic we discussed about the update problem and finally I got it fixed by using a proxy.
- Manual update IS working
- Auto-update at startup or when the laptop is turned on (waking up after sleep) IS NOT working
Please note that for some weird reasons, neither the
direct connection nor
IE Settings work and as we discussed about it in another topic, I realized that the only way to get to the update server is through proxy.
If I remove the proxy, I get the connection error and it fails to update. But through proxy, the manual update works flawlessly. However, I see the "
Connection not established" when I set the proxy.
Streaming updates: Enabled
Connection: Connection not established
Last update received: ---I also tried it with dial-up and/or permanent connection settings checked, but the auto-update at startup doesn't work at all! I read some other topics about auto-update problem with proxy settings but I didn't find any solution to this annoying problem.
