AntiVir??

Anyone having probs with AntiVir Update??....I click on update and the little Torch rolls about for ever and nothing happens!!??.........or it starts chucking the little bits of paper across.. but there's no actual D/L taking place...everything reads 'Unknown' and that goes on for ever??......


Cochise,

 

Cheers Ron ....Glad to know it's not just me then...........Why don't things do what they're supposed to do, instead of throwing you a curve ball now and then.....why do they assume we have a sense of humour........ ...."Waars ma scatter-gun Jake....Aahhh! Say....waars ma scatter-gun.....Damn Yankees varmints....



Cochise,

 

I tried just now (1115PM Germany time, 5/23/2005). Very slooow. Obviously server is very congested. Downloads work fastest between 1Am-430AM Germany time.

 

1am-4.30am??...............Meine Schon Frau und Ich es schnuggled immer der Bet, immer der Schlaft Zimmer ist...... Gibt ein...ZZZZZzzzzz!... ......I bet you just love my fractured Deutch.......



Cochise,

 

Set AntiVir to do an auto update during those hours... perhaps?

 

Cochise--

if the autoupdate doesn't work, you could try to download the whole update package. here is the link . the speed is really fast, comparing to the autoupate. Then extract all the files to a temp folder. and copy vdf and avrep.dll to C:\Program Files\AVPersonal to replace the orginal ones. after that you have to restart the antivir service.

 

I read somewhere (here ?) that it's better to NOT update around XX.00 hr
( 9.00, 10.00, 11,00....and 5 minutes before or after) because almost all automatic definitions downloads are set that way around the world.
That's a good idea I think

 

Hello

The alternative is to buy the new Antivir Premium edition for 20 euros. It has a dedicated update server which is always very fast, and it has a pop3 mailscanner too...

Niner, Niner, Niner I told you so!​

Perhaps this will go away if they ever get the "new" updater up an running.
