OK obviously currently you have the Proxy settings set to "Autodetect (Use Internet Explorer Settings". Please change this to "No Proxy".


avast -> Setttings -> Updating (Basic) -> Details -> Proxy

Try posting a HiJackThis log?  ::)
It seems like a Internet connection problem to me but it could be CWS related trojans? :-\

How do I do a HiJackThis log?

If it is an internet connection, would't I have other problems.  I can check email and surf the net.

Download HiJackThis from the following page:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html
then open HiJackThis and click OK on the warning.
Once done, click Scan and then Save Log.
Save the log to your HD and attach the log file here. (in txt extension)

HiJackThis does not scan for trojans.
HiJackThis produces a report of hijacks caused by adware/trojans.
This report "might" help in resolving your problem with no being able to update.

Hi'a,

I am running Sygate Firewall (home version) and when I connect to the internet, the firewall me to confirm the ok for the avast! application to connect to the internet.  I click yes......  Then it brings up the same dialog box asking me the same question.  I click yes....and yep, you guessed it...it asks me again, and again, and AGAIN~!!!!! until after about 30 times, when avast finally comes up with the message, error downloading virus base.  Then the message that the update server is down.  I have run an independant online scan.  No Trojans or other viruses recognised.  Any suggestions?

Thanks....Michaela  :-\

Thanks...

Go to your Sygate Firewall configuration and allow access on Avast components.
That will suppress the prompts you are getting with Avast Updates.
Good Luck! :)

Does it not work?
If so, try reinstalling your Sygate firewall.
There are several Avast components you will need to allow Internet access in order to perform an update successfully.

Make sure your Hosts file are not infected.
Some trojans put AV's update servers in them so you would not be able to update.

ZoneAlarm (probably other firewalls too) have a feature to 'lock' your hosts file.

Hi all,

I have the same problem (on a PC of a friend) and already followed all the advices mentioned here at no avail.

The browser can reach 216.12.202.5:80 that is supposed to be down by updating!

I run a connection test by Avast settings, here is the log:
