All the free versions blast the same updates server. That server can get overly busy and unresponsive. It could 3 days, or more, before a once-per-day update manages to get connected to the common server and download an update. To ensure you get updates more often, define more update jobs in Avira's scheduler and pick times when you think users are not likely sitting at their desks trying to perform manual updates (start of work morning, lunchtime, end of work afternoon, mid-evening, midnight). You want more chances per day to get an update and more probability that the shared server is less busy. Create, say, 4 update jobs that run daily and run at different times of the day. http://www.ehow.com/how_5480404_configure-avira-options-update.html

I check for updates manually and, overall, its been very fast lately, except for the last few days. Right now it is back up to speed. I was just curious if others were having the same problem, and it turns out they were. Thanks again, Buffalo
