Need help Avast cannot connect to server

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hey,

Anytime I try to update my Avast it says the error message: Cannot connect to server.

I just realized that my Internet Explorer tells me that it cannot display the web page…So does Google Chrome

I have been using Firefox and my IPS tells me that my connection to the internet is working fine.

I keep encountering problems with other programs as well, saying that they cannot connect to server.

Any advice?

The avast update doesn’t use a browser to do the update.

What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?

  • If it does delete the entry for it and do a manual update, this should force the firewall to ask permission again.
