gday having trouble updating avast. have tried putting download605.avast.com into ignored and exceptions under web shield. have put in connections under tools on explorer proxy server address 127.0.0.1 and port 12080 (have dial up). in avast has redirected port 80 for web shield.

also having trouble with few sites that require secure login. had trouble getting into bank but have mad this ignored and exception in avast and now works. but cant login to ebay, can view ebay but wont allow me to go to myebay. have tried putting ebay into ignore and exceptions but no luck.
other problem is cant update windows either. have tried adding few things to ignore and exceptions but no luck here. i use windows vista. have tried with firewall on and off.
thanks any help appreciated have spent ages on this

What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?
- If it does delete the entry for it and do a manual update and reconnect to the internet, this will force the firewall to ask permission again.
The secure login might also be firewall related as it will have to do with the passage of parameters between http (non-secure) and https (secure) web pages. Some firewalls have a privacy function (Zone Alarm Pro) and that can get in a lather with the web shield.
