I do have a question though, and this is more aimed at people from AVAST (whom I hope is looking at the forums) : I switched it back to my default ISP DNS, and the software updated itself, along with the Virus Definitions. For some reason though, the Avast software wouldn't allow me to update with the Google DNS. (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and resolved my connection problems. I'm no network expert, but I know that these can be related to DNS settings in windows network settings.Ībout a week ago, the DNS provided by my ISP was giving me connection problems, so I changed the DNS to Google DNS. From the error log I concluded that the reason my Avast wasn't updating is because of connection issues, specifically timeout issues from IPv4 and IPv6. Luckily, if I try to uninstall or update using "apps menu" in the Windows system settings, it gives me an error log. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Avast, and the update issue still persist. I'm writing this here in case anyone else might have a similar problem then mine. So short of actually uninstalling and reinstalling the software, what are my options? Is this something anyone else experienced? I don't trust the software's ability to restore the fine details I set up for my rules, because it didn't the last time. What I haven't done is uninstall and reinstall Avast, because honestly, the last time I did that, I had to redo all of my settings, especially those relating to my Firewalls rules and exceptions, and that's even after I made a backup that supposedly should've restored my settings. Or at least, I got no notifications that something was wrong. I get a warning saying that my virus definitions are not up to date, I click on the update button, but instead of updating as usual, it just keeps giving me the warning "Virus Definitions are not up to date" in red text.ġ) I have made sure that the Avast Premium Security software itself is up to date (Status is green, saying the software is up to date)Ģ) I did a repair on the software itself, and there didn't seem to be any indication that the software itself was problematic.
