thecow, after installing Microsoft Security Essentials I programmed a scan for Sundays at 2pm. MSSE however scans daily at random [?] times. :) No biggie as it's easy to stop the scan or just continue my work while it scans. PS: installed Glary Utilities yesterday and like it so far, especially the registry cleaner because it tells you WHY it recommends removal of each registry item before you authorize removal. I had a bunch that where orphans

I used this for the manual update but had mixed results: answers.yahoo.com Sometimes it would show downloading files immediately followed by a window trying to download files which never worked. What concerned me more was to open the main Avira window which showed when the last update was.It might have a date a day or so old. When I would click on the little plus sign next to "Last Update" I would see a date for search engine and virus definition file back in September. Both of these have updated since I reloaded Avira. All of this was occurring on my girlfriends computer while mine was fine. Same guy doing the same thing on two different computers and getting two different results.
