avast online scanner not working

[MWassef]

I always receive these errors:

Warning: fsockopen(): php_hostconnect: connect failed in /var/www/onlinescan/scanner.php on line 21

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:5036 in /var/www/onlinescan/scanner.php on line 21
Error: Connection refused (111)

any solution?

Me too  :'(

I suppose you're following the rules like me:
Each time you may check only one file with size not exceeding 512kB.

I just checked and it is working without a problem here. Too bad Avast still not recognizes the two viruses I send them about a month ago :'(

[MWassef]

sure, file size <  512 kb
btw, my browser is Firefox 1.0 not IE, does it matter?

[MWassef]

it does not matter, I receive the same error using IE6 SP1  :'(

[Eddy]

I did it with Opera. I just checkecd again and now I also get the error in Opera, FireFox, Netscape and IE.

Well the online scanner has not been officially launched yet.
Where did you get link to it? From RejZoR's page?

[RejZoR]

Ups,i can change the link into Coming soon! I found it while i was viewing VPS history and i thought its ready I'll fix the link asap.

Ok i have changed the link and text on my site.
Sorry for any problems coused by my link

It was (now removed) on the drop down menu of Virus.

It's also still on the Menu Items list on the Virus folder under the Subscription Service Heading.

I didn't see it on REjZors site, I found it whilst browsing the Virus folder.

[MWassef]

from avast! Subscription services page.

[MWassef]

so, it's finally available through the virus menu (beta version)
it only scans file not exceeding 512 kb 
what file types does it scan? Are they the same as avast does?

I assume that Online scanner uses same settings as ashQuick.

The only problem is it's file size restriction. :'(
