Hello,
I'm using Vista Home Basic.
Avast 4.8 FREE
I have it set to do an signature file update automatically.
However, it never does an update automatically.
If I run it manually, it works fine.
Any ideas?
No errors in the event viewer.

Hi,

Mine updates automatically - I set the program to update automatically
too.

Have you looked in the Updates (connections ) window ? I leave both of
those unchecked.

I've never had any problems with Avast free.
Uninstall it, then reinstall it.
It is compatible with vista 32bit and 64bit.

i had avast for a while and it worked fine.. i'd recommend NOD32
it's pretty lean, and efficient. Kapersky is a beast on the resources
if that's a concern you're having.

I have the same problem with the avast update. I am running vista home
premium - 64 bit version. I also have the same problem with automatic
updates from Taxcut. I suspect there is something in vista security or
networking causing the problem,probably unique to the 64 bit version.
Anyone have any ideas?
