error connectin to the server

I have 4.7 home, build jam 2007 (4.7.942) extreme toolkit 1.9.4.0
using activesckin 4.2.7.3
last automatic update june/ 1st 2007
after that, it kept giving error messages concerning connecting to the server. The Internet connection is ok as i write this on the very computer Avast is installed on.

I dwlded a manual update. Still the the right clic update and i suppose the automatic one fails…

I am running a full scan but i doubt there is a virus as this computer is generally out of the general use, email, dwloading stuff, browsing, being dedicate for school.

Pls any help will be aprecciated!

ps I dwloded anyway a fresh copy but i’m still interested in a solution as i intend to get to the bottom of this, maybe is a bug and i will continue to run into…thanks

Which firewall do you use?

What do you mean?
Are you in school? Do you use a proxy in this school network?

Please, post the last 100-150 lines of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

no firewall (not even the windows), beind behind a router (nat) …I know i should get one…

No proxy, not in a scholl network. It is used rarely for school purpose.

the log goes like this:

Check if the servers.def file is corrupt or 0KB (C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\servers.def).
You can try and download the servers.def file, http://files.avast.com/iavs4x/servers.def and replace the one in the avast setup folder.
