[Solved] avast is NOT updating automatically

[Lisandro]

What is going on?
First I notice that the virus definitions were 5 days old :o
Now I notice that the last update attempt was in this morning?
What is going on?

[Lisandro]

Manual updates are working…

[Lisandro]

C’mon!
avast is “restoring” the 22th of May database? ???
Is there some GUI problem?

[Lisandro]

Also, in the XP virtual machine, avast is NOT updating automatically…

[DavidR]

No problem here with XP auto updates are working fine, had one a short while ago.

[Lisandro]

Last line of setup.log file…
28.05.2010 09:32:31.000 1275049951 (null) Stopped: 28.05.2010, 09:32:31
The time is today morning…

[system]

It won’t update automatically or manually.

This is what I got one time but it had a different address the previous time:

Last encountered error: Other HTTP error (404), while trying 174.133.198.138:80//iavs5x/servers.def

[Lisandro]

avast continues to NOT update automatically >:(

[system]

avast is updating automatically in my machine.

I had one automatic update one minute ago. :

maybe the problem is in the update interval of 15 minutes :-\

I have the VPS 100529-1

I have changed to 30 minutes.
But if it is so short, avast should block “one” update, not all of them…

[Lisandro]

Again, manually it works. Automatic not.

[system]

You’re Right. :

If you use the default settings on updates settings you have this problem?

Have you tried?

[system]

either of mine was not updating today
until just now…all is good

Have you tried?

What are the “default” settings?

Last line in the setup.log:

29.05.2010	19:03:27.000	1275170607	(null)	Stopped: 29.05.2010, 19:03:27

Nothing automatically is working

The default Update, Proxy setting is Auto detect (use the IE settings), so change to No proxy if you don’t already have that set and don’t use a proxy.

1st situation: auto detect. Result: no automatic updates.
Actual situation: no proxy. Result: the same, no automatic updates.

I was just conforming what the default was really. I have no idea why this is happening as the No Proxy seting usually resolves this problem.

Any other suggestion?
I hate when we do not receive help when we can’t do it by ourselves.

Well having gone over the topic again opening the images, I didn’t before, I see a glaring error (depends on your connection method) in your second image, you have the Update Parameters set to Dial-up. If you have broadband, which I think is the case then this would likely fail auto updates.

Good. I’ll test it. I’ve missed it.
But the update period should work regardless the connection type.
