Update/upgrade misfire... or SOMEthing.

[SteelyDon]

I have NOD set up to ask first before updating the daily [or whatever] database. Just now I fired up the computer, and NOD asked; I didn't read the thing carefully, it was just the usual thing, I thought, so I said yes. After a couple of minutes, I got curious and looked at the download dialogue box, and it said that I had some 50 minutes to go, and had downloaded 4% !!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on dial up, but even so.......

Not wanting to wait an hour, and figuring it was a major version update, I cancelled the update and got out. A few minutes later, out of curiosity, I tried the manual update, and it said that my version is up to date, no update is necessary.

OK........ any theories? ???

Thanks very much.

The update was 3325 kb. Large.

Wonder why so Large? ::)

I've got machines that are not getting the update immediately, I'm getting checks coming back that no update is needed, only I know it's not been downloaded... I'm guessing load of the 3mb+ download is considerable...

Yes, that sounds right. I tried again, and it loaded, took only a few minutes.
Must be a major re-write.

Thanks

I heard this update was released for detection of variants of various malware.
