Dial-up speeds downloading virus definition updates

[knicks_fan 1]

I just reinstalled Version 9 from the website (see previous topic why). The definitions are not current, so ESET is trying to download 75Mb+ of updates. The progress looks like it is 1998 and I am back on a 56Kb dialup line. I have checked our network and there are no slowdowns.

- why doesn't ESET keep the definitions file somewhat up to date when you download software?

- I am in the USA, where is the download server I am using?

Update servers are located in Europe and in US. If download is very slow, you can try cancelling update and running update again. There's a good chance that another update server will be contacted.

You've downloaded v9 which is not the latest. The latest is v10.0.390 which also contains newer modules.

Thanks, Marcos. Unfortunately, I can't run ESET Version 10 because of issues with a product called Cisco VPN (see separate topic).
