I use avast 7 version and i noticed that the streaming updates says connection not established. Is there a server problem?
in spain Anything from a few hours ago
Last streaming update here was at 10:29 AM EST in USA and it is now 10:33 PM EST. Most of the time Avast says “Connection not established”.
Same here.Also on my brother’s PC.He still has Avast version 7.
Same here, “Connection not established”. version 8.
I suspect they are working on their infrastructure … I also have “connection not etablished”.

Connection is established here and I havent had a streaming update since yesterday night,see screenshot 
Connection not established with my Avast8 also.
Update: I have began to have streaming updates again,everything is fine here ;D
Connection established and I received streaming updates.
Still having the problem.
Connection established and I received streaming updates also
I am connected again as well.
Insofar as avast! controls the servers and the streaming updates, no user control or direct input is available for this issue.
Streaming updates are for definition updates that cannot wait for the two or three daily main updates and/or are fixes applied for definition update errors or a tweaking in the main update made just prior. Different parts of the world have these streaming updates applied at differing times as threats arise, so what one might see in USA, these updates might not show up until a couple hours later elsewhere. Reason is due to deployment timing and any issues with the avast! server network that comes up.
So, for the above reasons, streaming update connectivity will come and go. Not much one can do about it.
In the worst case scenario, there is that emergency update feature, so if that works as it should, your expected protection should be always be available.
As long as one has the latest definitions, avast! can provide the protection needed, and coupled with safe surfing practices, one should be safe out there.
OK, everything working for me ;D

It’s 2:27am here in Alaska and all is well.
Streaming servers are online now. Solid “Connection established” now. 8)
Sometimes connected, most times not. At least I am not the only sufferer. However, it does put into question whether or not streaming updates are happening. From what I can see, I guess mostly not so assume that we are not receiving reliable or timely virus database updates.
This is not good, especially as the UI contains the following message about the importance of being up to date.
“It is vital to always keep your security software up-to-date.”
I though that this was the reason for having the facility of streaming updates. 
I don’t know what was going on during that time ^^

Problem seems to be fixed.
