Unable to update Avast!
« on: June 05, 2010, 06:44:57 PM »
I have Avast! on my computer through dial up.  Now we have wireless connection also and when I am on that, message comes up that Avast! needs to be updated.  When I try to update, it says 'unable to connect to server'.  Want to stay protected, but don't know what to do.  When I am connected through dial up, the updates are automatic.  Am I doing something wrong?

What avast version are you using 4.8 or 5.0 ?

Change the Update settings to My computer is permanently connected to the internet option, rather than using a dial-up modem.

Hi Katy...

So you now have a wireless high speed connection (i.e., DSL?)  If so, did you delete the dial up connection? This also might cause what you are experiencing. :)

Regards...
