DNS resolve has failed?
« on: April 05, 2019, 05:14:29 AM »
Hi Guys,

I tried to update my Avast today, and I kept getting this error message :

'DNS resolve has failed'

And it does not update.

I also seem to have lost my network connection, somehow ?

Any thoughts or help ?

Thanks !

Do other devices connect on the same network for Internet?

Hi Hannon,

Are there any other software programs that could be trying to inspect your traffic, such as other Antivirus applications?

Cheers,
