Avast 4.7 will not update using Vista Home Prem.

Hello all,

I loaded avast! 4.7 onto a PC using Vista Home Prem. The software will not update. An Error stating “cannot find server” and returns a localhost address of 127.0.0.1:80. I am assuming it is something wrong with the OS and HTTP. In addition, I can get to google and my internet connection seems to be ok with IPv4 set DHCP. I removed Trend Micro and no other antivirus software is installed. Furthermore, I ran CCleaner and Hijackthis. The firewall and windows defender are both disabled. I am not using ZA and it is not installed. Also, I tried changing avast proxy setting to bypass IE7 with no luck. I am running out of options. Hopefully, someone can help.

Thanks

Hi…

I would first recommend that you uninstall the version you currently have installed with this tool…

And then install the current version, 4.8, here…

If you no longer have the e-mail that contains your current license key, you can apply for a new one here…

Let us know if this helps. :slight_smile:

May God Bless you!

The new version worked. I should have tried 4.8 to begin with.

Thank you…
