Hmm. . . I just assumed it was trying to use IE b/c when I try to update it, it gives me the error message “cannot connect to server”. I checked the work offline status and changed the update settings to “no proxy” and I’m still getting “cannot connect to server”. Firefox works fine, but for some reason IE won’t connect. Any ideas as to why this is, or what is causing Avast to not connect to the server?
