Update Problems

Hi Everyone,

Does anybody know if these is a problem with the update server.

My virus database has not been updated since 30 June 2011, have tried to manaully update, but the following comes up!

“connection terminated… retrying”

The last version of Avast update is shown as 110630-0

Am running Windows 7, Home Edition!

Any help would be appreciated!!

Try manually updating the database from http://www.avast.com/download-update, reboot and check in the main GUI if the database was updated.

Thanks, that has updated the database, will check to see whether it starts to update on its own now!

Were you getting any errors, if the auto update check failed it should pop-up an error, image1.

Or it may be possible that your firewall is blocking avast.setup from updating:
What is your firewall ?
Does it allow avast.setup internet access ?

  • If it does delete the entry for it and do a manual update from the avastUI, this should force the firewall to ask permission again.
