I don’t understand why I cannot receive VPS or Pg Updates since feb 12th. I checked the registration key, I have no firewal pb, Is there a way of pinging the server to make sure the pb doesn’t come from there.
I tried to download manually from serveur the vspupd.exe file but it says
Some have been experiencing this problem and it needed a reinstall to resolve it, uninstall, reboot, install, reboot.
It would probably be best to download the latest version of avast and save it to your HDD, somewhere you can find it again. Use that when you reinstall.
The problem with pinging would be unrelated to this update problem, you could try using a different DNS server, like www.opendns.org. It may also be something at MS blocking pings which could be used to swamp their servers, just a guess, could be totally wrong, you could try connecting to MS.
The other users that were effected with this problem were win9x but, it wouldn’t hurt to try the reinstall.
But, before that one check your system date is correct, especially month and year. Also check about avast and ensure that the Updates expiration date hasn’t been reached, see image.
