Avast Free does not connect to internet
« on: December 03, 2017, 05:15:10 PM »
Hello, I am experiencing a problem with my Avast Free, some time ago it stopped updating, I tried to do it manually and it said a failed http server error. I removed it and tried to install it once again, but it does not connect to internet, even though everything else is working, now it say that my licence is expired. I even deleted my account and set up a new one, and when I try to secure my device and download installer I get this message: The requested URL /pairing_IPAR-341055-DcDVaM5LWTJJrqavAUCJ3DddVncs2fJMcTa35444/recno_19un7zBw was not found on this server.

I don't know what to do, why does it not connect to internet. When I try to activate a new license I get this: The online content is unavailable
Please, check your internet connection and try again. My internet connection is working fine.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Something to try, change DNS to Google DNS

Error 41225 is an issue with Avast servers and your DNS address.

Changing your DNS address to Google will fix your issue.
