Updating....
« on: October 26, 2005, 01:50:01 PM »
Hey, I've just used Avast! 4.6.691 on my PC. It's cool and doesn't hog on system resources. However, I am experiencing some difficulties on updating the iAVS!. Whenever, I update, I only receive the following messages:



I have successfully updated the iAVS! once upon installation, further  update attempts where unsuccessful. On the very first and only successful update, I have pre-installed a firewall, ZoneAlarm, but did not prevent it from updating because I already have allowed permission for Avast to connect to the Internet. How am I going to update my iAVS in the future?

Right click the blue ball near the clock and choose "program settings"
Set the update options as you wish.

You don't say which parts of avast you have allowed access?

ZA has a habit of forgetting its settings, so it is possible that you have blocked the avast.setup that is required for the update process to happen. Ensure this file isn't blocked in ZA, if it is allow it access. Don't go looking on the HDD this file only exists for the update process.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.4.6112 (build 24.4.9067.762) UI 1.0.803/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

How am I going to update my iAVS in the future?
How do you connect? Dial-up? DSL?
How do you set avast! Update (Connections) tab of settings?
