Re: problems with auto-updates v731

Hello,

i have the same problem as the other users. I get no error messages when I update manualy, but only in the "AVAST-Setup"-window i see the update like to download some files. But after 2 seconds in the window is only written the time to download.
If i do it by automaticly, i get an small red error-message from avast.
I do not use an software-firewall but a hardware-firwall in my router, so my question is: Does avast use for the updates an specialy port and i have to open it ?

Thanks for your answers

ReinhardW

Now I am getting "Not enough user rights to continue" which is the problem I had on my laptop a week or so ago - no one could give me an answer then what the problem was. Eventually I sorted it myself - I uninstalled Avast and had to reinstall it in safe mode. It's been working OK since then - but I think that was before this last update so I'm not sure what the situation is there now and don't have time to find out at the moment. I'm afraid I've lost confidence in it all together now. I just don't know if I'm protected or not after spending MANY hours on the forum and on the laptop and now on the PC.

What are you doing when you've received this message?
Do you do not have rights to do what?
Do you have more than one account with administrator rights?

Tech, much as I appreciate your help I have covered all this in another thread on this forum which went on for days when I had the same problem on my laptop. The bottom line was that someone here said that I definitely had NOT installed Avast from an administrator account - even though I only have the one account which is an Administrator - and nothing got sorted. The problem is (or was on the laptop) that Avast cannot create a registry entry. I resolved the problem by reinstalling whilst in safe mode. That seems to have sort of made things work. Occasionally (still talking laptop) Avast will ask me for a registration key and there are other various problems which come and go but (so far) it is updating OK on the laptop. Or was until yesterday anyway. Now the problems on the desktop have started in EXACTLY the same way as they did on the laptop so I am assuming the problem is the same and I am going to have the same result. The updating error is new I must admit but all the problems are so convoluted that it is difficult to point to one particular thing. I am not a techy but it seems to me that this problem must have something to do with Avast itself and not my systems - especially as others have similar things happening. I don't know whether to unistall Avast and try to reinstall or not. This is all very interesting but is taking a lot of time and I still don't know if I am protected or not while this is happening. I would bite the bullet and buy something but the last time I did that (Kaspersky) they let me down badly - which is why I ended up with Avast. Anyway, enough ranting, I will watch this space and hope.

There are a lot of way to test your protection.

Hi,
to resolve this issue, I'd like some users who receive error 0xC0000005 to do some experiments:
1)check if avast.setup process is running, if it's there, end it and start program update
2)stop avast! iAVS4 Control Service and run update again
3)send setup.log from avast4\setup to my email

If nothing helps, I'll release test build with some debug info built into updater

Can you connect to Internet and browse?
Seems that some of the errors refers to Winsock problems..., not related to avast.
Are you using an account with administration rights? Or, on contrary, a limited user account?

Btw, you can download servers.def from here: http://download1.avast.com/iavs4x/servers.def
Save it to C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\setup folder
Start the update again.

Tech,

it would seem to me that since attfuzz has reported here ... it would suggest that internet connectivity via browser exists (since I know of no other way to report in this forum).

Sorry. My stupidity...
Anyway, there is always the possibility of being using a second computer  ;D

Tech,

your point about WinSock may be valid, but I note that the log posted by attfuzz suggests that a valid servers.def file was on the machine with 34 servers in it (which is the count in my file too). 

Note that the log also reported a failure to try to re-download the servers.def file as well.  It seems this user cannot connect to download19.avast.com - which I can connect to without problems.

As you will see from my posts in this thread and others I have had these (and more) problems myself. This has solved the problems for me on both my laptop and my desktop computers:

Download and run the Alwil uninstaller to uninstall Avast. (Better than the Control Panel one).
Reboot into SAFE MODE.
Reinstall Avast and then reboot normally.

This has solved my problems OK - inluding the error "Not enough user rights to continue." A few folks on here have insisted that I did not install originally with Admin rights - even though I am positive that I did - and that is why I got the user rights error. Anyway, I don't know what caused the problems but what I did above certainly solved them for me.

Well, the post was from the PC that is having the update problems. It's running Windows XP x64, 3200 AMD, 2G RAM, X700 ATI, and using the on-board audio and Gigabit NIC. Internet and everything else is working fine, including online gaming. That was just a small portion of the setup log file. I can post a larger one if that is alright. When going through the update process through the system tray icon on both the defs and the program, neither one work, get some type of timeout error or something. I guess if all else fails, I'll try Jim's solution with the uninstall and then install in Safe Mode. But I thought in an earlier post, that that was just a temporary fix.

In fact, seems that we have an auto-update problem...
