In respone to possible host file problem. The only listing I have is 127.0.0.1 local host. I understand Avast is not a firewall, but the web shield for whatever reason is causing the error message I get when I try to do a manual update.
In response to proxy server the answer is no. Both my computers using same dsl connection.
In response to how many times I get the error message. It is everytime I try to do a manual update. If I disable the web shield, I can do a manual update through the Microsoft Update web site and it works properly. Once I activate the web shield, I again can’t manual access the Microsoft update site.
Thanks to everyone for their imput.
