Can you be a little more specific?
What this sounds like to me is the update is being blocked by your firewall.
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.
I think (not sure) maybe he means it’s not getting updated even after downloading the updates. Am saying that because I had a problem as well earlier with avast when I downloaded the updates and while trying to install it freezes. So am not sure if he’s talking about what I am saying or did he mean he couldn’t even download the updates.
@jase
DavidR is talking about not being abe to download the updates,beacause of a firewall issue.
I have checked my firewall (Comodo)and it is not the problem. I have turned it off.
any other possibilities?
