    Couldn't it be that you have fiddled around the default update task after installation?

    Could you please PM me your username? The updates for v3 have been downloaded at the first attempt the last 5-6 days. I've made a test with v2 updating several times in a row and the commercial version 2 has always updated at the first attempt.

    Hey my update is Stuck at 3317 and its really getting annoying.
    I bought this to protect myself from viruses etc and now im not getting the updates to protect myself from the internet :thumbd:

    Tried to update manually - did NOT work
    Double checked my Username + Password - The details worked but the update did NOT work
    I didnt change anything at the setup or anything else - so that is NOT the problem.

    Anyone knows how to fix it, btw if you say delete cache or something name the place where it is
    eg: C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security

    Thanks!

    Happy to say my ESS was updating automatically for the last few days - according to the Events log. As of 8:26 PM EST I am up to update 3326.

    There must be a problem with your license. Please export the configuration and send it to my email address (I'll provide it to you in a PM).

    I have been using NOD32/ESS for a couple of years and one of the persisting issue is getting update! Eset need to resolve the update issue before losing long term clients! No point telling users because of the large users base of version 2 causing update issue. After all, which security vendors do not have to cope with old/new clients base?

    I didn't have any pm's received, but im not making time to fix this. This must be fixed by ESET self. I bought this for making my protected, but im done with it. it still doesnt work and im not going to make time to fix it. I appreciate the support but sorry. I reinstalled the software but have still the same problem. Gotta try to install the newest version .669 and will let you guys know if it worked.

    After going through the forum and few suggestions from the members, i am able to update my ESS with 3340 from 3230. Had to attempt manually for a few times though, but went smoothly after that.

    Thanks guys!

    BTW, Have got .699 installed.

    .669 installed and worked fine but my cpu was always at 100%.
    I waited for 1 hour didnt work, i rebooted didnt work. I uninstalled and installed the old version again .667 and now its working again. Weird but ill wait for a newer version.

    Well currently testing this out on a spare system and since the 30 of July its not been able to get an update. I even found some older versions to test same problem.

    Now at the moment I would not recommend trying this program since it doesn't update like it should according to the product information.

    Now I understand that there seemed to be a issue for a day or so that was the result of a huge update being pushed to older version users. However like others have said I don't have the time to sit here and keep trying to get it to update.

    The update issue is present in both .669 and .650 on both XP Pro SP3 and Vista Ultimate SP1. Again since I'm using a trial version I don't have much of a complaint as I not spent any money on the product and at the moment I'm not planning to, at least until there is a better reason that it doesn't update automaticly nor manually

    I will send you a PM. The trial version for v3 is equal to the full version, the only difference is that it has a temporary username/password embedded. If you are having issues, it must be caused by something else. I've run into cases where, for instance, people were blaming our update servers for the inability to update, but eventually it turned out that their license expired or were using cracks which changed the update servers. I'm not implying that you're using cracks, not at all, just trying to say that there are most likely other reasons why the update doesn't work for you. We don't see any problems on our servers in terms of updating v3 users either.
