Each time I start my computer (Win XP Prof) I get an error message in a red Square saying - Unable to Update please click here for further details.
When I click on the red box - i get the following message - Information about current update:
Last encountered error: Cannot connect to download46.avast.com (67.18.199.130:80).
Total time: 3:10
Can somebody tell me what to do to resolve.
Many thanks
Sure, just change (or add) AlwaysConnectedWaitSeconds value into the [InetWD] section of avast4.ini file.
You could set the number of seconds to wait before attempting to update. The default is 30 but it may not be enough in some DSL systems. In this case, you can try increasing this e.g. to 60 (1 minute). That should be enough.

Thank you for that but could you tell me how to do it I have tried to locate the file but with no success -
“C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini” ensure that you have show hidden files and untick Hide extensions for known file types.
