I only noticed problems with it at college on a Windows 7 setup, it would not update automatically and a manual update seemed to take ages before the server connected. Matt

Thanks guy and gal, At least it's not just me :)
Been trying manually, but then again, internet is very slow here at the moment.

I guess Avira need to get get a bigger server farm, they must of become so popular that everything is maxed out!! Sometimes it does help to have a paid for anti-vir, lol. ;)

OK. Manually, it sat there for about 2 hours before it finished.
It autoupdated fine this morning.

Let it run. It should get there in the end.

They need to upgrade their server I think :) (But we can't complain, it is free afterall)

Don't orca's just balance things on their noses when those things fall off high places ?

Have you two ever thought of changing to Microsoft Security Essentials? I installed it yesterday on my 7 machine, seems ok and it´s been getting pretty good press write-ups!!

Hungry samaritan more likely then ;)
