Virus Definition DataBase Update

Hi Bucic,

Can you start by providing a screenshot of the CIS logfile:

Antivirus → View Antivirus events → More → Other logs → Tasks launched

It should show something about updates from which version to which version and the update error.

Of course

Please mind the last highlighted entry. Before I took the screenshot I tried to update and it went OK this time. The highlighted entry is for when I first set FW to block all mode and then tried to update.

Thanks. My screenshot’s attached.

Hi Bucic and Spankywoo,

Any of you know how to handle a packets sniffer like Wireshark?
We need networking details to see what’s going on I’m afraid.

An other question, is there any other security software installed on your system & can you provide the OS your running on including the Service Pack version and if it’s 32 of 64bit?

I installed Wireshark once but I wouldn’t say I was using it knowingly. If the procedure is short, drop it in and I’ll see what I can do. I’m off for a few days…

But hey, does it still make sense when my av db update works on both my networks?

Nope, we need a system that fails to update to see why it fails :wink:

Hi. Never used Wireshark, but here’s the OS info (it’s 32-bit):

Windows XP, Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.100216-1514, SP 3

Thanks again.

OK :slight_smile:

Sorry - forgot to mention that no other security sw is running.

For those still having issues updating the AV and CIS complaining about your internet connection, please create a packet capture and contact me by PM if done.
