I can't update avast
« on: April 05, 2018, 07:37:01 AM »
The update does not progress...

I have Avast Premier, should I fix something in the firewall options?

Does this online installer
http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_premier_antivirus_setup.exe download the entire program or part of the update?

That's a stub installer, best you use the offline installer.

I dont know why but in the two recent updates I could not update manually from the program, since it freezes and does not progress, at least I know I can update from the online installer ...

You could try a clean reinstall.
