Hello All!

Suddenly the update process does no longer work :-
The server is not reachable.

Should I re-install?

Kind regards,
UF

  • Which version of Avast Free…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?
3
  • 2015.10.2.2218
  • W7/32SP1
  • Fritz Protect (Firewall, restricts access to network for applications (“phone to home …”))
  • as I remember right: none (it’s a fresh installation)

Fritz Protect does not restict Avast.

It works fine until a couple of weeks … without any changes.

Fucking captschas 7 trials :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

If you’re sure about that…

  1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe
  2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

Ohhh - it was Fritz Protect :frowning:

I disabled it, and the update process starts …

I think, Fritz Protect is very old (2001) and I should look for a newer solution . . .

Kind regards
