Ive had this problem for a few weeks though I have been using Avast for 18 mths or so with no problems.
Ive tried repair but am still stuck with this issue.
Any ideas?
When? At all the times of just after logon?
Which is the error message?
Are you using the last avast version?
Which firewall do you use? And your operational system is…?
Which are your Update (Basic) settings?
Do you use a proxy application (annonimizer)? Can you set your avast to use NO proxy at all if you don’t use one.
Make sure your browser is not set to “Work Offline” (this option is generally in the File menu). If it doesn’t help, try switching the proxy settings from “Auto-detect” to “No proxy” (I’m assuming you’re not connecting to the Internet via proxy).
Left click the avast icon > Settings
Update (Basic) > Details > Proxy
Nothing? And what about the Log viewer and the setup.log file into the \data\setup folder?
Most probably this IS the problem…
avast.setup must ask or be allowed to connect the Internet and donwload the update.
My computer has stopped auto updating sionce Friday - a red warning comes up that it could not find a server to connect to: “can’t select any server for downloading from”
I have Home Ed 4.7 and it’s all been fine for months & months, no settings have been changed on my computer at all during this time.
The firewall is set to accept avast downloads etc etc
Any advice welcome, thank you!
ok sorry I’ve just seen another thread about this…I’ll try unistall/reinstall…
