Hi
last nights update went through ok
They had a similar problem sometime ago. The way I got around it was on advice from Scottiesmum was to set my own update time . It seems if its left to the default(every 24 hrs ) then lots of people will be trying to update at same time ,probably at peak times as people first switch on their PCs and Avira decides it needs to update .
On Avira main page use Administration/scheduler to schedule the required time to start .
Regards Jeff
