219783 2004-03-03 01:42:00 Every week I have been clicking on the AVG icon then clicking the update manager/ update now to download the uptodate virus signatures. Now I get the following message: An automatice connection to the internet could not be established. Please manually establish a connection to download your update files. ( this can typically be done by launching your internet browser.) This message despite the fact that I am already connected. I have Zone Alarm and have configured it to allow Grisoft to access the internet. Any suggestions please ?? heaton (3697)
219784 2004-03-03 02:40:00 In (IIRC) the updtae manager there is a box that says something like "connect automatically". Is that ticked?

BTW - updates are coming thru daily at the moment.

219785 2004-03-03 02:42:00 Ok, the avg udpdates are done by another exe file, not the "main" avg program.

Check that zone alarm is allowing avginet.exe to access the internet.

219790 2004-03-03 11:12:00 Most probably a Grisoft problem. Successfully downloaded 2+Mb update this morning but have been unable to update 3 other machines since then using 3 different ISPs on dial-up. Blue Druid (4480)
219791 2004-03-03 11:53:00 I think we are all in the same boat. Probably avg receiving a lot of hits due to the amount of virus activity at the moment gerrypics (323)
219792 2004-03-03 11:54:00 I think it's Grisoft. I updated earlier today all ok, but a bit slow. Just tried updating again to test it and it didn't connect at all, and suggested that I didn't have an internet connection. I kept retrying then it connected ... they look to be a bit busy methinks
