I am using eTrust EZ Antivirus.
Last week the mini icon in the tray next to the clock contained a white X in
a red circle.
I was instructed to delete the program and then reinstall it, which I did.
Now I get a message that the update failed with error 3 and to read
autodown.log for more information.
They don't tell me how to read autodown.log.
Does anyone know how to read this log file?

Take a look at the following support article. Error 3 appears to
indicate a temporary problem with CA's autodownload server.

You can read the log file from within the EZAV application. Select the
Tools tab and click Log Viewer. From the View log drop down menu,
choose Update to read the autodownload log.

Thanks D.....but one has to log in and neither my password or a guest login
will work.

Btw......now that I have XP, I have some little questions on Firefox....I
will drop you a line. This is so different than WinME, lol.

Cheers, Heather

Haven't had any problems with the version on Johns XP Heather, did the
renewal in June I think and didn't get any trouble. I know that the odd
occassion he couldn't download updates he just went back a little later or
next day and it worked <g>

Hi, Heather,

Interesting about the Log In prompt when you try to access the page from
the link I provided. The information is accessible without a Log In and
is listed in the "Top 10 FAQ" that you can access through the technical
support link for EZAV. It's about four or five pages deep from the main
page. Here's the text of the article:

> Summary:

> When attempting the update, an errors occurs with either "Fatal Error 3" or
"550" in the error message.

>
> Resolution:

>
> This error is likely to be a temporary problem with the AutoDownload server
due to some of the update files missing. It happens at the time when we are
uploading the latest signature files to the server, and clients are trying to
retrieve these files at the same time. Please try connecting to the Internet and
performing the AutoDownload again at a later time.
