Avira update "internet connection failed"

I have been trying to update Avira but always get the same message "internet connection failed". From looking at comments I have seen I don't think this is virus related but perhaps I am wrong.

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks

Dylan

Re: Avira update "internet connection failed"

Sometimes, Avira's free servers get clogged. You can try to use the method for manual updates outlined here

http://forum.avira.com/thread.php?threadid=12073

Or, you can ask for help in the Avira support forum
