Update server not ready to serve--try again later

I'm using the free version of AVG anti-spyware 7.5. For weeks, now, when I try to update the definitions (manually, since I'm using the free version), I'm often told something like "Error: Sorry, the server is not ready to serve--please try again later." I get this response at least half the time, probably more. I haven't been able to update now fpr a week. I realize that I can't complain too much, since I'm using the free version (I have no interest in the features offered by the paid version, such as always-on protection), but still, if the company is going to offer a free version, shouldn't it at least be able to update its definitions? Does anyone know what the problem is?

 

There are already some threads about this.

Look for here for one https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=171812 and here https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=170878

 

I second that motion.
I'm having the same problem.

 

Thanks very much, Lordpake. I saw the threads about problems that paying customers were having with updates, but I must have missed the threads you helpfully supplied concerning the free version. I'm glad to know that people are aware of the problem. On the other hand, the promised new version that was supposed to fix all this was due out in April, and it's now the very end of May. Hmmm....
