Hi, I had this problem and found that even though I am using Firefox, the solution is in Explorer. Open Explorer, under internet options, choose LAN settings, and under proxy server, make sure the box is UNchecked for Use a proxy server for your LAN.

same problem here. The free edition also provides a license. I am running WinXP SP 3
I had the version 8 installed and had no problems. Becuz I kept getting the nag popups to update to version 9 I did so, but it just won't update. I am running my account as a power user. Meaning I can install everything except programs that need to access my /windows/system or /system32 directories. I searched Google for answers but haven't come across a satisfying solution so far.

Open AVIRA main window, select "Update"
Then "Manual Update" and open the downloaded .ZIP file. 
And Its done.

Hi! :)

I had the same problem but I've just found the answer.

You have to reinstall it but type your name and e-mail and select the thing that says something like "register to free... user ..."

It worked here ;)

Just download free update from https://www.avira.com/en/support-vdf-update-info

It solves my problem. I heard the avira servers are overloaded, but I personally believe that the update program has some bugs.

The problems I mentioned earlier were gone. Even after the major update that gave a lotta people problems I had no problems with avira updating. However, after last patch tuesday (13th of October) by M$ for Windows (which I updated on the 14th), Avira doesn't seem to automatically update anymore. I had to dl and manually install updates today. Since I run as a Power User, I have to switch to my Admin account to do this. I don't feel like doing this every damn day. :-/
Here's a part of my update error log:

When I use any of the IP's mentioned here paste in a browser to go to those IP's, they won't load either and they time out after a certain amount of time. My HOSTS file is not the issue, as it hasn't been altered in any way to my knowledge. Anybody got an idea?
