antivir pe major update failing?!!

it's about two days that i have couldn't update the antivir pe.

has anyone else had this problem too?

is it the server problem?

thank you.!!!!

 

Currently using it on a setup, just updated to signature version 6.38.01.169 with no problems.

 

I have had the same problem for a couple of days, but all of a sudden the update happens (but only when I do manual updates) but it takes 2-3 minutes. Ah, well I am just testing its time to try another one anyway.

 

ok! just look at to the avira forum and judge yourself:

are you still sure that there's no updating problem? sure i'm not.!!!!!!!!!

 

Clearly there is a problem. But it's not affecting me ATM.

 

ok!! thanks for the quick reply.

does anybody else have this problem too?

 

Not me. mine worked the very first time though it took a while.

 

god help the dialup users if everyone says it takes a while.....

 

It is more the ability to get on a server than download speed.

Both my systems were already updated yesterday (5MB+) on dial-up and now, on WiFi, no server connection.

 

I had been having this issue for the last week or so. Regrettably I had to uninstall as the manual updating was beginning to be a major pain on 2 of the 5 pcs. Since they are "safe use" pc's I installed eTrust 7.1 until VBA32's new lowered usage solution becomes available.

 

I just checked for my updates due to your post.
I had no problem getting my update. I did, however, find that I had made a mistake when I set up my scheduler.
Update was slow.
I think Antivir is a very good av but I'm also starting to think that it's not quite polished yet.
Oh well. We'll see.

I had trouble getting the update for three days.Couldn't connect today either.
No problem anymore.
I switched to Avast.

 

That's why dial-up users should seriously consider the Premium Servers

 

nope, it will still be the same crap speed.

they should consider broadband, even if its just 1mb... still very cheap.

but thats just my opinion eh.

 

sometimes broadband is cheaper than dialup to get people to buy it instead of dialup

back OT ....

avira seem to be once again having problems, hmm.

nod32 had its week of dissapointed people, and now its aviras turn. lol

swings and round-a-bouts

 

it sure does have its problems sometimes.
my sister sometimes has problems updating on the rubbish connection at her student accomodation

I use the free edition on a secondary low-risk PC and I have to say Avira's update servers really suck big time. If they think this will ever make me move to a Premium license they must be delusional.

I just gave up and manually downloaded the latest virus definition file (all 16 odd megs) and did a manual update.

i'm wondering !! 5 days past but still no successfull update!!! what's going on to the avira's update servers?
it's really ashame for avira!!

 

I've gotta tell you guys, I've been using Avira for three months now and haven't had any problems updating. I update more than once a day and it always goes smoothly and quickly. Maybe the Premium has better servers.

 

I constantly had update problems with Avira. Switched to Avast and no more problems. It's a shame because Avira is the AV I like and trust the most. It just goes to show, detection rates aren't everything.

 

Avira is my preference too.
It's a great AV,but the updates are too much of an issue for me.

 

I still use Avira and they will work through this. They are to dedicated not to.
