antivir updates unbearably slow today?

[Anth-Unit]

I'm downloading at anywhere between 10kb/s and 1kb/s. And yes, I have the full retail version. And my internet is running normally. Anyone else having this problem?

[Medank]

I am having this problem as well.
But i think everybody has it because they released a mjaor update today , that could be the reason why it's so slow.
i downloaded 13kB/s

[trjam]

Someting is wrong. Even if you try to download the product it crawls.>:(

[ghidorah68]

Mine is really slow too. When it get's to the second part of the update, the time remaining 'clock' gets all messed up.

Medank, what's the major update today? I couldn't find any info on the Avira website.

Hi

Coinsidence! :doubt:
OR...
Something Is Terribly Wrong! :'(

I think I've got a Virus on both my Desktop and Laptop :argh:

I Can't Update Either...

AVG 8 - Desktop Computer

NIS 09 - Laptop

I Am Able To Update... SAS & MBAM

Have So Far Scanned...

Desktop Computer
AVG 8 - Normal Mode
SAS - Normal Mode
MBAM - Normal Mode
At This Moment... Scanning In Normal Mode With - Windows Defender

Laptop
NIS 09 - Normal Mode
NIS 09 - Safe Mode
SAS - Normal Mode
SAS - Safe Mode


NOTE
It's would take forever to explain.
But I think the Virus is possibly... iexplorer .exe

I'm not really sure if mine even updated correctly. This morning, I remember downloading a smaller file followed by a much larger one. I canceled it cause I had to go to class but when I finished the update later today the larger file did not pop up. Is there any way I can tell if it updated correctly?

[deanmartin]

My update box wont even appear, everything else program wise updates and fast.

[deanmartin]

Did a reboot nothing, ran ccleaner and reboot, now it works.

[trjam]

let me see what I can find out. But right now this is totally unacceptable.

Posted from Avira.




Due to a new VDF of substantial volume the update servers are snowed under the press of people, who all want to have their update immediately.

[trjam]

my question is, how the hell can there be a press of people if it wasnt known about the VDF update. Hell, I didnt even know. Stefan????

[trjam]

looks like it starting to ease some, I guess as those in Europe go night-night.;)

[bellgamin]

There was a REALLY biiiig update today of major files as well as signatures. It was slow, but I got it okay.

I am happy that Avira makes frequent, major upgrades to its engines, files, etc. I wish they had a few more servers for those times, however. (Sigh)

now i am starting to get Confused.

Am i really infected with some kind of malware named iexplore"R" ? that's why it's so slow? :o

[QBgreen]

For all of the newer members that are worried...relax. ;D Sometimes servers are actually overburdened! It's happened to me over the years with other products.

[MalwareDie]

I just updated with no problems.

[gismo999]

I have just checked my updates.....
I have mine scheduled to check every hour and I took 6 updates today!

I think that's the most I have seen in 1 day

run a full scan

[Medank]

but maybe avira does not detect that file iexplore"r" even if i run a full scan.

[LoneWolf]

Winpatrol Plus info on iexplorer.exe

[ghidorah68]

Mine finally did updated properly...that's all I care about!

[De Hollander]

Perhaps a suggestion for the future, try a manual update

AntiVir incremental VDF update (IVDF) (Unicode

please give me the proper link for a manual uninstallation tool for avira. it seems like it doesn't want to go off my computer

Until someone provides the link try disabling the guard.That should cancel the freeze(in case this is what happened)

[Medank]

but even if it is slow it still download's the updates, so i would not change AV just because sometimes or rarely updates slow.
