OsFly,

Yes the avast! Software-updater leads to Cnet and when the Online Security plugin is active all of the Cnet download are blocked as well.
On a Dutch forum I have a similar problem where the software-updater won’t work with a active avast plugin.

What I do is use the SU to check for updates, I then go to the vendors website to download.
I like to control where I download from. If one is not careful you end up downloading the
cnet installer. If not the vendors website I use either filehippo or softpedia. 8)
