Cannot connect to downloadxx.avast.com [updating problems]

I’ve been using this for a month now and i have to say that it’s very good :wink: but every now and then, i get a pop up that says:

after a few days, my Windows Securities Alert will warn me that my virus defination is not updated. I then have to manually go to the website and download the definations. What is the problem? ???

Are you using a firewall?

nope. but i un-installed it and re-installed it again. it worked this time… :o
