windows 7 update blocked

The automatic updates are blocked and I also can’t load them manually. The code is 8024402c, which is used for a problem with the firewall or antivirus. I don’t know what to do now :cry:
Please describe in detail, I’m blond :wink:

Welcome to the forum. :slight_smile:
Lot’s of German girls a blonde. That excuse doesn’t work. :smiley:
Which firewall ??? and, are you allowing avast! internet access through the firewall ???

Thanks for the friendly welcome :slight_smile:
I don’t know which firewall, this was what windows help said about the code… I think windows…
I use avast internet security and don’t know anything about it :frowning:
where could I find out about what avast! is allowed to do?
Sorry, I’m just able to use my notebook but nothing else :frowning:

found a solution for my problem - if I change my firewall to “private zone” there is no problem. :wink:
I do not understand why, but it works…

Private Zone = Secure environment.
