    Poster is using the 4.0.0.172a (As am I now) yet he has 356.954 signatures.

    My friend Alwill has 357,311 now.

    I have 354,476... o_O

    No, this isn't a firewall issue, I have uninstalled my firewall!
    Don't use a proxy either, so scratch that.

    Let me know when y'all get it sorted out, this is getting silly!

    Just for info, When I installed V4, I could not do a manual update. I tried the update fix tool http://download.ewido.net/FixUpdate.exe I was told that the tool could not find the Ewido installation. I tried the tool again with the same result. However, after a reboot, the manual updater worked, and today I got the automatic update.

    The UpdateFixTool is for ewido anti-malware 3.5 not for 4.0

    4.0 does not need this tool. (And currently won't be updated, since it would be senseless)

    Because I have a slow dial-up at home I download the signatures-full-current file at work and bring them home. Since updating to 4.0, when I try to install I receive a message "ewido anti-malware could not be found on your system." I get this on two separate computers and have to browse to the new ewido folder. Any idea what's causing this?

    I did not use the beta version and had uninstalled v3.5 prior to installing 4.0

    quietman7,

    Read somewhere else on this board that those signature updates are only good for 3.5 and that ewido does not intend to continue them. Sorry about that. Forget all of what I just said it was not the sig updates but the fix tool. I was refering to post #30 and it is not about the sigs, sorry :oops:

    Have a good day,

    OK, I downloaded the signatures-full-current file today and again the same error message: ewido anti-malware could not be found on your system. I have to browse to the folder manually and then the install works fine.

    the manual signature files were not made for version 4.0... using them can result (if you are using them AND the online-update) in a higher sig count than the official one. if possible, please wait until the files are available for 4.0

    quietman7,

    As I suspected, the updates you download are setup for 3.5 and since 4.0 is not in the same directory, the updates will not work. Sorry about that. Take a look at this thread:
