COMODO

[Bazile]

I have downloaded the free COMODO internet security .

However , it tells me that the virus signatures are not up to date .
When I click unto 'update' , it tells me to wait while the virus database is being updated and that it might take a few minutes .

It quickly races to 30% but stays at this figure for ages ( many many hours ) and doesn't move from the 30% figure .
I have attempted it several times, with the same result .

Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can get it updated ?

Unfortunately I have just Uninstalled Comodo in favour of Microsoft Security Essentials. Chuckfickens recommended Comodo and I was rather reluctant to remove it from my system.
However I did not have any problems updating Comodo, although it could take several minutes for it to do so. Stop the download and start again as it could be a little sluggish. Go into Miscellaneous section and click on Antivirus updates from there.

I've installed it for a couple of people and experienced the same problem. But found that patience is the answer - it only seems to occur for the very first update after an install, and usually if you leave it long enough, it suddenly jumps from 30% to complete.

How long did it take for you ?
By the way i'm still on dial up ( dont laugh ) so do i assume that it will take twice as long ?

Oh lordy,lordy! It took about 20 mins on my 2Mb connection, so I'd give it 'til Easter if I were you ;-)
