I am still getting these problems with avast, it is happening with both manual and automatic updating. Occasionaly, a manual update will get through but mostly I lose the connection.
I have been experimenting today and on 3 seperate occasions I tried updating avast, once after surfing for an hour, again after surfing for 45 minutes and a third time after surfing for an hour and a half and all three times my connection was cut off as soon as I tried to update avast.
I am getting the same error messages I posted in my earlier post and despite searching on the internet, I can't find out what they mean.
Avast is the only program on my computer giving me any trouble.
I have tried re-installing avast (after using Regseeker to remove all traces of it from the registry) on 3 occasions, re-downloading it each time and I have tried the repair option and nothing is working.
Up until now I haven't had any troubles with avast and I think it is a great program but if I can't sort out this problem or at least find out what the errors mean I will have to switch to another AV program, which I really don't want to do.
