update on dialup
« on: December 28, 2010, 04:35:49 PM »
I installed avast free and it needs an update. I let the 5.something MB do it's thing and it said download was successful, now it says download failed. How do I get it to update on dialup when the file is that big? Thanks, Wanda

Are you talking about def updates, or an update to the program itself?  Typically definition updates are on the order of a few dozen KB, and no problem even on dialup.
Intel Atom D2700, 2 gig RAM, Win 7 x64 SP1 & IE-11, Firefox 51.0
(default). 320 gig HD, 15Mb DSL, Win firewall, Avast 12.3.2280 free, SpywareBlaster, MBAM Prem., Crypto-Prevent

Yes, it is an update to the program itself. I JUST installed it, and it needs to update the program.

- open the setting window. you can find setting button next to upgrade button (the green one).
- then click the tab 'updates' setting
- change engine and virus definition to 'automatic update'

hope it helps  ;)
