**Note:  To help speed up AVG updates you can set your program to
use 
an alternate download site.  
Open AVG control centre->update manager->download from server.
The 
drop downbox should have listed www.grisoft.com (default)  and 
www.grisoft.cz. (be sure to select "apply" when done to save the
changes) 
The default site is most often used so can at times become
temporarily 
unavailable.  By using the secondary site (www.grisoft.cz) helps
to ease 
the server and makes your update go quicker as most don't use it!
