thank you .could you tell me you MSN?I want to make a friend with you! Thank you!
Not really - the problem affected avast! 4.x only.
If you tried to update the program repeatedly and it always fails, something is probably blocking the connections to avast! servers… a personal firewall maybe?
thank you answer!BUT my firewall is windows xp firewall! hahahahah! 
;D
