excuse me dude, but it's none of your business.

I can ping update servers, either via URL or IP, but browser will return time-out when opening avast.com.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Hi folks,

If this is not on their filter list there, they could do their updates from: http://majorgeeks.com/avast_Virus_Definitions_d5150.html

Like What? You want to check anything?

Anything on avast servers, except forum.

Nope, MajorGeeks (and any other official download server) do NOT host update packages, they just link to avast.com. Look at the link in MajorGeeks, it says "Download @ author's site" and not "Download @ MajorGeeks".

Perhaps its related to "HALAL INTERNET" project

http://boingboing.net/2012/04/18/irans-halal-internet-evo.html

I have heard that they are going to stop all internet access with the outside world and create their own alternative for popular services like Gmail and so on.

Iran planning to cut internet access to rest of world

Iran Prohibits Use of Foreign Email Addresses


http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404366,00.asp

They are testing it in some places so whenever they test it it seems the people in that particular area get their internet access to the outside world cut off I guess

I think this might work: http://iransetup.ir/Security/Avast.html
where you can download from there: http://iransetup.org/Files/AVIS701426.exe
and http://iransetupfiles.com/Files/MyFiles/AVIS701426.exe
And update files there Update files until MAY 01, 2012 for 32 and 64 bit (see at that site for links)

AVG: Get this message "Due to legal and regulatory restrictions applicable to AVG, the requested page will not load. You are presently located in a restricted country and are prohibited access to the AVG web."

Norton: Works fine. Expect "download" links in website which won't work because of embargo, but if you download from a mirror you will be able to update fine.

Eset: Works Fine.

Panda Cloud: Works fine.

McAfee: Works fine, expect download links, alike Norton.

Avira: works fine.

BitDender: Works fine, a bit slow.

Agnitum (Outpost): works fine.

Norman: works fine.
