Kaspersky updates

[12thPaladin]

As of 00:00 today Kaspersky internet security 2010 has updated 3 times (and the day's not done yet). The download tends to stall at around 92% for several minutes during which time my internet slows to a crawl.
A few minutes later the PC will sound the 'added or removed hardware' alert, but no information is given.
Absolutely clueless and slightly perturbed.
Has this happened to you or do you know if it's normal?

Keep a check on the program version number. Sounds like a major update, and it is restarting services.
Check the version number against the versions on their site.

As I type this it's updating again. I will check AlBags.

Another thing may be to empty all the Temp folders and temp internet files. Maybe some file/zip/cab is corrupted. Wait til it's finished another attempt.

Im using Kaspersky, I dont have that problem, im on 9.0.0.459.

You could just set it to update when you are not using it, like during the night.

Kaspersky reports that my version is 9.0.0.736 (a.b.c)
Database release 12/07/2010
Is this the update?

WhiteBears, I wasn't sure but I thought a lot of false positives recently regarding what was considered a safe site.

12th, i wanted to update my kaspersky but it keeps blocking the connection, so i had to switch off kaspersky then connect to the net and its fine. i need to write to kaspersky to c why its blocking my internet broadband

Can you not allow this connection in the settings?
That is the firewall settings. You can do this in most firewalls.
The program may be busy doing minor updates on top of a major version update.
