Avast update problems

Hi, on sunday april 14th around 10:30-11:00 pm pacific time I did a program update to avast 4.7.981 home edition. upon finishing the update I was instructed to restart my system. After my restart I went back to manually update my virus protection database and avast would take forever and sometimes it would say could not connect to server. the same happened when I tried to run another program update. I then tried to visit the avast home page but the page would not load for me (all other webpages would). I was just wondering if my update did not go right and if avast website or update sites were having problems around that time. how can I tell if everything is updated correctly now? being paranoid about viruses I am always wondering if someone had hacked into my system to make me think I was updating avast but not and had prevented me from going back to the avast page to dl virus protection as I have heard of such things happening to people. but I guess all is well now because avast page seems to be back up for me.

Thanks

There was quite a large outage, many servers lost power etc. Web was down for at least 3-4 hours.

If you’re sure that your avast did not update in that time (shouldn’t happen!), can you please dig in avast4\setup folder and send me the whole setup.log file? kubecj AT avast DOT com

thx
