| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Updating Antivirus software Hello Donreddy, and welcome to Vista Forums. Double check in your firewall program to make sure that you have the antivirus EXE file responsible for updating listed in the firewall exceptions. Do you have a setting in your firewall program to ask you to allow or block any program that tries to access the interent? If so, you might check these to, to see if you may have accidently blocked them as well. |
