2) there is no firewall.
3) when i click on "Proxy", nothing happens!

18.08.2007   14:27:52.000   1187432872   package   Download servers.def, servers.def.vpu failed with error 0x20000004.
Please check:

1) If your subscription allows the update right now (i.e., if it is not expired). Home (free) version need registering each 14 months.
    I hope you haven't bought a license from a site on this list: http://www.avast.com/eng/fraudulent-sales-of-avast-products.html

Also, bad jollyroger.vpu file could contain banned registration keys with error and then update fails because of an invalid key. See how to download a new jollyroger.vpu, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=27185.msg222148#msg222148.

2)  Check your proxy settings into avast!:
     Left click the avast icon > Settings
     Update (Basic) > Details > Proxy
     Make sure your browser is not set to "Work Offline" (this option is generally in the File menu).
     If it doesn't help, try switching from "Auto-detect" to "No proxy" (I'm assuming you're not connecting to the Internet via proxy).
     You can run proxycfg -d in a DOS window to make your computer connect direct, without proxy. You can run proxycfg -h for help.

3) Also you can try changing update service's login account, follow this:
    Open services control panel (e.g. Start->Run, and type: services.msc
    Double-click on avast! iAVS4 Control Service to show properties. Switch to LogOn page.
    Enter administrator account name and password.
    Do the same for avast! Antivirus service.
    Then start update again.

4) The last option, check if the servers.def file is corrupt or 0KB (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\servers.def).
    You can try and download the servers.def file, http://files.avast.com/iavs4x/servers.def and replace the one in the avast setup folder.

You need to download the updater each time you want to update the virus database of the off-line computer.
To update the whole program you'll need to download the setup file again.

It does, as I said. It's Home version, and 14 months haven't expired yet.
Also, bad jollyroger.vpu file could contain banned registration keys with error and then update fails because of an invalid key. See how to download a new jollyroger.vpu, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=27185.msg222148#msg222148.
I have downloaded the new file, and it changed nothing.

2)  Check your proxy settings into avast!:
     Left click the avast icon > Settings
     Update (Basic) > Details > Proxy
Nothing happens when I click on that button.
     Make sure your browser is not set to "Work Offline" (this option is generally in the File menu).
It's not, and there's no proxy in browser settings.
     You can run proxycfg -d in a DOS window to make your computer connect direct, without proxy. You can run proxycfg -h for help.
It cannot find "proxycfg" (usual command prompt message).
3) Also you can try changing update service's login account, follow this:
    Open services control panel (e.g. Start->Run, and type: services.msc
    Double-click on avast! iAVS4 Control Service to show properties. Switch to LogOn page.
    Enter administrator account name and password.
    Do the same for avast! Antivirus service.
    Then start update again.
I did that, but it didn't help.
4) The last option, check if the servers.def file is corrupt or 0KB (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\servers.def).
    You can try and download the servers.def file, http://files.avast.com/iavs4x/servers.def and replace the one in the avast setup folder.
I have replaced that file.
And here's the last from the log file:

Nothing happens when I click on that button.
Make sure an avast.setup process running in background isn't blocking the proxy settings.
Two actions can't be done at the same time. Kill the avast.setup process before.

14:27:52 min/pkg  Download servers.def, servers.def.vpu failed with error 0x20000004
Please, search the board for 0x20000004 keyword and see if anything helps you.
