automatic update of my home avast never work when I run the update manually it work good my VPS now 091130-1 and in avast wepsite is 091201-1 I take a look at the update setting and I found both of program and virus database are automatic
sorry my English is bad
The Program should be set to Ask and VPS to Automatic, that is the defaults.
What is your firewall ?
Do you use a proxy to connect to the internet ?
If not:
From the avast Program Settings (right click the avast ‘a’ icon), Update (Connections), set the connection method according to how you connect; then click the Proxy button and set to Direct connection (no proxy), see image, click to enlarge.
Thak you for your replay
I changed the setting to defaults as you say. I use windows vista firewall and connect without proxy.
after I change the setting automatic update run normally
thank you again
You’re welcome.
The vista firewall has outbound protection, but by default it isn’t enabled, so you might want to enable outbound protection (sorry I can’t help with that as I don’t use Vista). However, it isn’t very user friendly, is rule based and you have to create the rules, so you might want to consider alternatives.
