I'm receiving repeated emails from forums (annoucing the same thread).
Is there any trouble with the website and emails from the forums?

For instance;
From: <webmaster@asw.cz>
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 5/12/2003), Inbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean

If you want to update the program itself offline - just download the main installer (just as when you installed it for the first time). When you run it, it will not reinstall your avast! installation, but update it instead.

I am having the same problem as LARS - error whilst attempting to update - manual update does not work either. I recently registered and got my activation key... then a few days later got told my 1 year thingy had run out and i had to register again - and got a new key.. this new key caused problems with updating again and i still get the "ERROR WHILST ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE" message - exactly as LARS describes it  :-[

it works for me now after downloading the main installer again. The installer asks to update the program and after a system restart, the virus database update works without errors. http://www.avast.com/i_idt_1016.html is where you can get avast 4 Home

There were problems with 'date and time' on avast! servers last week. Vlk posted this answer in related forums. If everything is working now, let finish the thread  ;D
