    I tried it and had the same problem. Took it off my machine.

    If it doesn't work, it's not staying.

    I like Ewido for what it is worth.

    Hi Bethrezen, ;)

    The activation/registration code requires the email address you submitted to A Squared plus the code they emailed you ...

    I use this as a backup AT as well as Ewido ... no problems.

    If you continue to have problems, why not try to re-D/L it!

    HTH, ;)

    NOTE as for there server ... I just tried an update ... it's working OK ... are you sure it's not a firewall issue?

    Could be a firewall issue. Does it run as well as Ewido?

    Hi Ronjor, ;)

    Actually, I prefer it (A2) to Ewido ... but that's not saying that they're both great! I like them both. (But the spinning A2 logo drives me nuts!!!)

    dear Bethrezen, first tell me are you trying to update or activate. if you don't activate you won't be able to update, in fact you won't be able to use a2 at all! for activation you'll need to enter your email address and the activation code and hit ACTIVATE. to get your activation code just register for the free version and in a second you'll recieve the code via mail. the updater has some bugs though that'll be fixed and it works nice as far as updating is concerned. if you have the activation code and still can't activate it please report this to Andreas Haak. there is a nice way to activate it without even using the Internet but i can't tell you that because of ethical reasons. but if nothing works i'm sure Andreas will help you to it. don't get angry with a2 because its coming with some cool features in the next version.

    I tried it again. It just sits there. I gave my firewall permission to update.

    They do have a good faq and I can look at their forum I suppose.

    I can log in at the website with my code. It just won't go from here. I'll fiddle with it later on your endorsement. :)

    hi

    im trying to activate i have the user name and code thay emailed to me but when i input it and hit activate it just sits there says connecting to server and wont go any further

    its not a fw issue coz i shut everything down sep systray and exploere btw Ewido is no good for me as im using win 98 and thats only for 2000 and xp

    and yes i am aware of the off line way of activating by edditing the a2upd.ini file i beleave or so i been told though i just dont know what im serposed to input

    the only problem is that if to meany people are usinf the same account info the account would get shut down so its a question of how do i get the activation code uneack to my user name and password with out goin through the program

    I think a lot of this updating problem with a2 could be avoided if you could configure the program before trying to update.

    I am not going to remove my proxy as suggested on one of the help pages.
    :cool:

    Every once in a while you will run into a program that does things just a little differently than the others. This seems to be one of those programs.

    I'm using xp and you are on 98 and we have the same problem.

    I have zero problems updating all my other programs. o_O

    dear Bethrezen, its a registry hack not a INI hack. have you emailed the author about your problem?
