    When doing a manual update via the GUI or the sys. tray icon, I get the
    unwelcome message "Error: Decompression error". Since today. Am using
    the paid version. The obvious question is, am I the only one ? :D :p

    I just updated via a manual request from the systray icon and it installed properly...647,150 definitions. ;)

    Similar to your Nod32 update problem....have you checked your proxy settings or bypassed Proxomitron to see if that alleviates the problem ?

    AVG AS is a good product but has often had problems with their update servers as borne out by the posts on this forum.
    I have proxy enabled (localhost:8080). There seems to be no difference
    whether enabled or disabled. The 'Decompression' error message has now made way for one that is well known here viz. "Error: the server is not ready
    to serve.."
    Given time, as in the past, I am sure that the updates will come through.
    (Touch wood !).
