Can't seem to update virus definitions

Goodmorning,

This morning when i booted up my PC i get the error from avast that updating has failed and that i should try again.
So i did and it came with the error http server returned error.
i guess this is a problem an Avast’s side, since all my friends seem to have the same problem.
I hope this gets fixed soon.

Same with me http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=146270.msg1062044#msg1062044

Me too. I mean me three four. Exact same thing: http server error.

Update is available, download is initiated, then snags. It may persevere for a few steps, repeating the error at near-regular intervals, than throws in the towel and lies (?):
claims “already up to date” with virus definition version 140213-1, while displaying “HTTP server returned error” just above it.

We’d all appreciate some feedback or acknowledgement from whoever wakes up first.

And more importantly, I hope avast tech get into fifth gear (maybe sixth or seventh) on this as I don’t want an encrypted-file ransom attack just now on account of some lapsed virus definitions update.

Did any of you happen to check if your streaming updates are still working ? server problems are usually maintenance related and don’t usually last long.

It should work now. Try again.

As I wrote on another relatively thread http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=146308.0 I had an indication for a new version of the Avast program just after five to ten minutes and a couple of attempts to update the definitions , I did the whole process very quick and looks to be my laptop fine.

Did somebody out there have the same experience?

Yes, server back online.

New definition 140214-1 in place.

Good, thanks for the feedback.

“HTTP server returned error” again.it happens to you?

Here too, some Server issues on Avasts Level.

now it works.try now.

Yes. Its working now.

Some short issue.
