AVK 2005 Updates

I have been getting anywhere between 5 and 15 updates a day for several days now. Awesome update work on GData's part.

 

Updates for KAV engine or BitDefender engine? Glad to see the updates have finally been pumped up

 

I see 6 KAV and 2 BD in the logs today so far.

 

Whoooaaa!

 

Yes, an awesome number of updates each day, new KAV updates are almost hourly (though not quite) and BD updates are less but frequent also, at least several each day.

A substantial number of new threats are continually identified, the following is typical:

231 new entries on 3-12-2005

Awesome, man, simply awesome!

 

eXtendia, beat that!

 

Good for eXtendia! All AVs should be doing that, imho.

 

KAV already does, dunno about eXtendia....maybe sometime they will too

 

KAV just got its 8th update for the day, BD still has 2.

 

I think 3-4 updates a day is enough..but I still get time to do the hourly update.

But with ArcaVir I only get once a day..and no updates on weekends

 

Actually now , it is 309 !

 

I have GData 2005 AVK set to check for updates every hour and they just keep coming:

Firecat
One a day is pretty strong . Especially if it has quite a few sigs in them . And , not sure about Arcavir but , heuristics play a big part too .

 

How is it possible since they get the same updates. from Kaspersky, and the RAV engine is pretty much just a dead weight now, without updates from eXtendia, GData. Also if you are curious you will see that eXtendia calls to GDatas servers for updates.

 

Then add in the fact that extendia is like molasses compared to GData AVK.

 

I didn't know that. Thanks hollywoodpc and Eliot.

But RAV engine is still getting updates right?

 

According to http://www.ravantivirus.com/pages/dldupdate.php?type=Daily the last update was 10th March.

Do you still need to pay extra for the hourly updates with Gdata?

When I last looked if you had the standard home licence you could only receive 3 updates a week (and urgent updates if required) and they wanted you to pay extra for the daily updates

Is that still so?

Cheers

Now you get an update every hour..they changed it last month for the AVK 2005.

 

Thats a lot better!

Thanks for the update.

Kind Regards

Jlo

 

I did not have to pay when I upgraded mine. It said 29$ but went on thru without any payment requests. I enjoy a minimum of 5 and most times 8-10 updates daily. They are relatively small in size and it updates without you even knowing its doing the job. Hope that helps.

 

How did you get your copy of AVK 2004 updated to 2005? I have been looking on Gdata's website but can't see any link for updating, only purchasing 2005.

TIA,
Trev

 

You have to send an email to the support people with your information. And if they don't reply you can try the international contact.

 

I noticed my Extendia AVK serial number can be used to Activate GDATA products as well. Considering Extendia is $9 from Amazon thats not bad. 8-D

 

Well....Then there's NO reason to use eXtendia's own AVK then!! WOW!
