I think i found a bug is this latest Avast free 2015 RC1 :(
Today i tried to use windows update but i was allways getting this error code:803D000A and was unable to download any update.
Disabling the web shield resolved the problem.
Is this a known bug?


PS: I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

I don't seem to have that issue.  Update seems to be working fine here.

hi bob3160  :D
Thank's for the link but after i tried all the tools the problem still persists. Windows update only works when i disable the Avast web shield.
Anything else we can try? ::)

Yes, check and make sure that webshield is allowed access through your firewall. :)

Avast has full access to the internet. The only way Windows update works is when i disable the web shield.
It's strange that i'm the only one reporting this but maybe is some bad configuration in my computer... :-\
Time to investigate more  8)

Remove all rules referring to avast! from your firewall reboot and have it again ask you for permission.

Only one other thing I can think of to try:
Turn off the windows firewall once that's done, go to your last post in this thread:
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=156282.msg1132549#msg1132549
If that works, it's not avast! and we'll have to rack someone's brains to solve the problem.

Have you tried a clean install using the avastclear tool.

No need to add avast exclusion to the windows firewall unless you have enable the outbound protection which is disabled by default
