    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.

    After waiting and trying for 3 days a really big update this afternoon, took nearly 4 minutes. Obviously the servers must have been struggling to get this big update out to everyone.

    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 :eek: 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. :rolleyes:

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

    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'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.
