    Ever since upgrading to AVG 7.5, it's stopped updating, and when I try to manually update I get a message saying "failed to connect to server update.ewido.net"

    Can anyone help?

    I can't help with this, but just this morning the same thing happened to me. I've had this program installed for quite some time now, and it had been updating automatically in the past. But, this morning, when I went to run an on-demand scan, it showed a warning that it had not been updated in seven days. When I tried to update, I got the same message you got. o_O If it irons itself out, I'll re-post.

    My last automatic update was 12/23, but it updated manually with no problem. Will just have to watch it I guess.

    As I half-suspected might occur, AVG Anti-Spyware has "healed" itself and is now updating on its own again (updated as of 12/24). Hopefully, this will also happen for the OP.:D

    And it's not the cable damage from the Taiwan earthquake. My other apps. are all updating incl. NOD32 and BitDefender. Hope it's not a repeat of the server upgrade problems earlier this month.

    It appears that the servers are a bit flaky this morning again. I got an update earlier; however, now the servers won't serve. ;) I suspect the AVG crew are working hard to correct the problems, probably something with the new servers they recently installed.

    I have 2 PCs that I loaded AVG anti spyware on YESTERDAY. Both use the same switched network connection. The Win XP home laptop has been able to download the update, however the Win 2000 svr PC has not been able to. No proxy settings are present. Anyone got any ideas
