There were no avast.setup processes running, but I did stop the Avast! iAVS4 Control Service and ran the manual update.

In the progress window it showed that it was downloading file: Servers.def.stamp, followed by several attempts to download file: servers.def. After each attempt an error would flash up in the box stating theat it “Can not connect to the server”

An error box finally came up stating that "Server www.asw.cz (195.70.130.34:80) is down. It had an accompaning log file and I have attached the text version of that file.
