| 289557 | 2004-11-08 23:43:00 | I don't know if this is a problem or not but: checked AVG for updates, very sluggish and slow finding an update, and then says there is a 3272.7kb update. Isn't that just a little big? My last update was virus database 534 7/11/2004. Has anyone else got this? Just finished downloading, its 535 8/11/04. Marg |

| 289558 | 2004-11-08 23:57:00 | Same here. Might be an update to the prog, but I cancelled it till I've got the time to save it | wooda2 (4837) | ||
| 289559 | 2004-11-09 00:45:00 | Yes id noticed this too. But thats not all. From the look of their website they are about to bring in (compulsory) version 7, which is, you guessed it, bigger, more confusing, and well, i tried the beta, and while it searches many more objects ( incl things like files inside cab and zip archives) it takes much longer, and still doesnt let you schedule system scans any less ( or more frequently than daily). My users find daily scans a pain and they end up turning it off, whereas im sure theyd settle fro full system scans twice a week. P. |

Heh, I wish this would happen more to games. The programmers suddenly decide to make a patch that adds lots of nice new features. I have seen it happen on a few games too! Yeah, I also got that big update. Hopefully it means it is a lot better. |

| 289562 | 2004-11-09 01:10:00 | I tried AVG 7.0, and with the Email scanner on, a lot of my mail was bounced back. I posted about this, but without success. Only option was to turn off mail scanning or revert back to 6.0 - which I have done. There was also no option to use it for "attachments only" When 6.0 expires, will look at Avast or Antivir. Bye |

Graham, Problem here is that the original program isnt to bad to start with. Unlike some OS's. The 3272 D/Load seems to be hard to get but after about 12 attempts all concluded well. As there appeared to be issues, a reboot was initiated. All appears well, any body who has A2, may have recieved mail about new generation loaders, and an A2 upgrade. These new loaders May now be in AVG, this would also explain the size. D. |

| 289565 | 2004-11-09 02:34:00 | glad to hear that there are others who have downloaded it. Thought for one dizzy moment that some virus had taken over and was downloading its own stuff. Marg |

| 289566 | 2004-11-09 02:41:00 | Took me 12 mins - but then I am dialup. From further reading, you have to set it up AVG 7 for different mail progs - messy Bye |
