antivir XP

this is the second day running that antivir has been unable to upload the updates (did that make sense?) says it cant find server/and is 'timed out'. is it just me or is it antivir? thanks in advance. aloha

 

its ok. its resolved itself, so it must have been them. thanks anyway halo. good to know your there much aloha

 

thanks darlin. i'm confused (as usual) as to how 'it' knew there were files to update if it couldn't connect? if there is a simple way of explaining that, do tell. (or was the creature that lives in the puter just having an off day lol )

 

When you update they just match your Program File, Scan Engine File, VDF-File, and AVREP.dll files to the ones on the server.

If there is a download there will be a prompt window to download the file or not. If there is no download the internet update screen should close automatically.

Hope this answers your question.

Just a fyi that Antivir have been working on optimizing their updating process (for a while now), so in the meantime users may experience slowness or no connection.

 

just soooo glad its them not me aloha everyone

 

still having problems. now i cant even get the first stage where they check to see if you need an update. I've checked zone alarm, and have put checks on antivir, but halo you said delete them? did you mean remove it from the list on zone alarm. do i also have a windows firewall? (xp..automatically updated) or is that disabled by zonealarm? (i vaguely recall something saying that). why isn't anybody else having a problem if the fault lies with antivir? aloha as always

 

ok. i will try that halo. still i dont understand why this thread isnt full of people saying 'me too'.

 

(sounds like they're under heavy load, although it's strange they have an official release notice yesterday when the new version was last week)

Release change on 13. September 2005-09-19

Dear Users of the AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic,

The new program version 6.32 is available for the download under www.free-av.de (Classic/Freeware) and under www.antivir-pe.de (Premium) since the 13. September 2005.

The regular update of the program is necessary for your security which means an increased load of the download server. Despite our permanent efforts to optimize the technical possibilities, a delay in the download can arise.

You can help us to reduce the data appearance on the servers:

Start the download at times in which less access to the server is taken place (late evening, night, and early morning)....

 

ok. so deleting it from the zone alarm list didnt make any difference BUT changing the sheduled time DID. so thanks to both of you for the help. much aloha to you all
