I have just reinstalled XP pro on a Dell Latitude D820 Laptop, and one of the first things I try to get done it to have an up-to-date anti-virus in place. I managed to find the drivers for the WLAN card, and can browse the internet successfuly, but I can't seem to get Avast to auto-download its updates. I'm not sure if this issue is entirely to do with Avast, as I also can't get AdAware to auto-update.
So not strictly an Avast problem, but if anyone can suggest some setting to change, I'd be quite appreciative.
