I am uptodate current version 0447-1 - but had to do it manually.
Program Settings>Update (Basic) is set to automatic.
Something has changed to prevent Automatic Updates.
I had no problems with the previous version
If you can manually update, so it's not a firewall issue.
Can you make the delay for automatic update a little bit greater (60 seconds for instance)?
See 'Settings' on my signature (value AlwaysConnectedWaitSeconds)
Should i attempt to reinstall the old version of Avast 4 and see if the auto update works then?
No need for that but if you want, uninstall 4.5 first, boot, install 4.1.
My PC specs r the same. but i dont have SP 2 installed.
It's a pity and a problem...
This looks like an Avast program error!!
I can live w/o auto updates but this is one of the best features of Avast! any help here??
You can help yourself updating to SP2.
It does not seem to be an avast problem. There is not update problems for the most of users.
