Avira Antivir, Update, Frequency

Hiya,

Back in the day it used to update 2/3 times a day wich i thought of as very frequent. Nowadays things are changed?

Look here: http://www.avira.com/en/threats/section/vdfhistory/index.html

9 large updates for today alone so far, is this common - correct?

Boy n i thought A2 was going nuts on updates.

 

it seem true, and this has going on some days now =)

keep up the god work Avira

 

holy cow
is this true? yep i like that too since i had a chance to jump to this IS and i feel that it is working just right

 

a-square updates like 3 times a day here almost 3 millions def,i am a milionar

 

maybe more a-square is updating again now

 

it is correct aprox every 1 to 5 seconds malware comes out

 

Atleast twice a day has become a norm now, almost every major security vendor does it. And they just keep increasing .... I remember when I use to manually update some of my PCs with complete AV db of around 2-3MB size. Now if you download manually the DB from most AV vendors the size is almost 10 times more !!

 

Heuristics anyone? :/

 

Some useful information here on update frequencies.

 

They also need to be updated on a regular basis to keep up with new trends, and to correct false positives.

 

im glad to see Avira keeping up the good work
