Avast won't update.
« on: July 15, 2010, 08:43:37 PM »
Hi everyone! ;D

I have been using Avast! with  no problems untill recently when I got an update reminder. everytime I try to update it says cannot connect to server. my registration is up to date and I am virus and malware free. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice but still get the same message.

I tried to use AVG free edition but there is a problem with that too. I like avast. so if anyone can help Id appreciate it.  :)

Try the following settings:

- NO PROXY
- PERMANENT CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET.


I think, then it'll work for you.

I use the German version. Because of this, I can't tell you the correct names of the setting-points in English.

But I think, you'll find the 2 settings in your version without problems, when you are looking for them.

Good luck! ;)
