As my laptop works at work with a proxy:
Internet Properties → Connections → LAN Settings → Use automatic configuration script → “http://proxy…”
and at home without (the same configuration as mentioned above; it isn’t necessary to change it), the configuration of avast! looks like this:
Proxy server configuration → Auto detection (use Internet Explorer Configuration)
As I test the configuration by pressing the appropriate button, I pass the test: “Proxy server configuration is correct.”
Nevertheless: at startup, the server cannot be reached, as the summery says following:
Information about this update:
Last occured error: Server download5.avast.com (66.98.196.85:80) cannot be reached.
At home, where I directly connect to the internet (and I don’t change the internet connection configuration!!) the auto update works fine!
For the technical people: the relevant part in my avast4.ini says:
VPSUpdate=Automatic
ProgramUpdate=Automatic
LoggingLevel=5
NetAlert=
ProxySettings=Autodetect
ProxyAddress=
ProxyPort=0
Anybode knows how this can be corrected, so that the automatical updates take place also at work?
Thank you in advance!
