This weeks Virus Pattern Updates (01/27/2005)
Updates will now vary in time but remain the same in day. Our
time schedule no longer allows for updates to be sent at a
specific
time on any day so we will continue to send them on Thursdays to
help our readers to remember to update before leaving for the
weekend (time away or from work). We apologize if this causes
any confusion.
All Software listed Alphabetically by Company name as some
companies manufacture more then one product.

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!
