Hi, i tried to post a bug today but something with a smtp configuration didnt match ??? so, now i will ask you here:

my Avast! 4 Home Antivirus told me that a new update was on the net, so i said “Download now” and it started very good. But suddenly it stopped, a file would´nt download and i pressed quit (just to try again) and it told me that if i exitted this update it might cause a failure in avast. so, now i get this message everytime the program tries to update: An error occurred while attemping to update, some avast server is down or something… can u help me, because i cant uninstall Avast!, no uninstaller included… :‘(’

hope to get an answer soon 8) just like allways, no late answer or anything right ;D

C ya around!

Zkaterboy, can you check if this is not firewall related?
Can you see your settings and check them if they’re ok?
Can you manually update avast?

The update server has been down.
Could it be you started downloading while it went down?
Have you tried a repair of Avast?

I’m having the same problems right now…
What’s up? :frowning: ???

i have now tried what you asked: to manually update Avast! without an firewall turned on. same error, now, how can i repair Avast!? i would really like to know :slight_smile:

start > control panel > add/remove programs > avast > change/repair

Some files I could send and Alwil gently answered me. Thanks Karel.
Some files I could not… It’s not the size limit… It’s not a deterministic behavior. :frowning:

How can I be sure about this? Can I test something?
