When I try to do it eroare update avast manually it keeps mentioning, "Error: can not connect to server." I use Windows XP. I was able to update the Avast anti-virus definitions. The Proxy settings were set at Auto detect (use Internet Explorer settings). I changed it https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=145011.0 to direct connection (no proxy) and it was able to update successfully. Edited by Johnny Almighty, 07 January 2011 - 08:37 PM.
