I'm running free anti-vir on my portable which I don't use
every day. So, every time I turn the portable on, I update
AntiVir.
Tonight it wont update - it hangs. In fact, after quite
some time it pops up a notice saying it hasn't been updated
in 7 days, click here to update. But when I do, it starts,
the bar goes for about 10 seconds, and then it just hangs.
Nothing on my machine has changed.
Any ideas?

maybe this :
Avira's update today is another rather large one today and you may
experience non responses or long waits ( I did). Servers are
overloaded. I did a manual download, and with my dialup connection, it
took the better part of two plus hours. Size is approx 27.5 MB. When
this happens I always turn to Softpedia, they have several download
links.

Thanks for the above link. I didn't realize that you shouldn't unzip the
zip file.
I unzipped it first and it wouldn't install. Then I read the directions (go
figure) and just pointed the manual install to the location of the .zip file
and it worked great.
Thanks again.
Buffalo
PS: I couldn't even get the Avira page to open since they must be
overwhelmed, but using your link worked great.

When this happens to me I usually try to do a manual update.
This links to a page in the Antivir Knowledge Base on manual updating
