Thanks for responding Tech.
When, just after boot? Are both of the computers permanently connected to Internet?
Yes, after everything has loaded . Then Avast! update starts, can see the update icon in task bar. The red & green thing
Then was unable to update "Red Screen" pop up from taskbar, where normally the blue screen appears.
This is a couple of days later now, and I am just watching both systems at startup . Both dialup connections.
Access is allowed for Avast! in ZA so not firewall problem.
At shutdown they're getting the
Ashserve.exe error message. It hangs, for maybe 10 seconds, then shuts down. That's been happening about 3 times a week for months.
Just trying to collect information at the moment so I can make sense of whether there's a problem or not. The Red Screen has
not appeared again, just the updating icon in the task bar. I suppose that indicates incremental updating is occuring.

Manual updating worked on my computer, ( vps 0537-2 ) 16/9/05 ; but not on their's.
Tech said:
This is non-sense from them, I mean, if manual update does not work the automatic won't work either.
Do they allow avast.setup to connect (into the firewall settings)?
Manual updating works on my computer. Not on The other person's. Firewall is o.k. for Avast! on their system.
I'm pretty sure there is a Problem with the Internet service provider, we share the same one, and that it is a local problem. That is why I asked if anyone in Melbourne, was having a problem.
Best to keep an eye on this, and no response from other people in Melbourne (Australia) so hopefully it will be o.k.
Is the latest vps file version : vps 0537-2 09/16/05 ? as that is what i have .
