I update manually, and the progress bar is gone. If it takes 5 minutes to update, with cpu and net activity, it will say "Checking For Virus Definitions..." the whole time. There used to be a progress bar. I need that.
[The progress bar used to appear instead of the initial Checking, so if there was no update, it had said that there was.]
Also, someone trying the program will not trust it after seeing this.
