Log files question

I was just looking through the Events in my NOD32 Log files and noticed that there are a whole load of update and failures before one was successfully downloaded. For instance below is just for today.

01/06/2008 19:57:01 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 18:57:02 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 17:57:01 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 16:57:02 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 15:57:06 Kernel Statistical information was sent to ESET.
01/06/2008 15:57:06 Kernel Virus signature database successfully updated to version 3150 (20080601).
01/06/2008 15:57:05 Update Updater: retval = 0x0000, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 14:57:01 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 13:57:01 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 12:57:01 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 11:56:56 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 01:00:51 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
01/06/2008 00:00:51 Update Updater: retval = 0x5003, failures: 0 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

This is happening far more regularly over the last week or so. Is it a problem with ESETs' servers or is the problem at my end?

Update

Just realised it's probably NOD32 automatically checking for updates but none are available. Is that correct?

 

Yes, that's correct. I apologize for the delay.

 

Could you , please , explain further why the OP has this in their log because I have never seen an entrie in the logs for successful checking but no updates available . Is this a special option ?

 

I wouldn't call it a "special option" but simply the results one recives if they select Diagnostic records for logging results.

An option I have never used .
