hey martin, ya saw a huge amount of files go in last week and then all of a sudden the bandwidth doubled (200kb/sec+) and the lag before the download began (queuing i guess) ceased.. Now the only problem i see (very slight) is that on my set up it takes about 45 seconds to actually install the files. This has always existed and not a new problem. i realize im splitting hairs as this is all low cpu in the background and dont even understand the complexity of rolling the update into a viral database.

Avira is the best at this point! And now that the updates are fast, no reason not to have it if on a supported platform.

I just check my machines. They’ve all automatically updated to this new thing without me realizing any slowness the last few days.

Although one of my machines did crash in that time…… hm…… :)
