Does Avast! only update when perhaps, the PC is idle??
It doesn't seem like it should take 20+ minutes to install only 50Kb worth of files. The update icon was on for this 23-minute period and the indication that the database was updated, appeared shortly after I right-clicked the (a) icon and selected the Log Viewer.
The CPU is an AMD K6-2 (with 3-D Now) 500 MHz, with 512 Mb of memory, Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3.
Another computer with Avast! installed (with a separate registration key) contains an AMD Athlon CPU, 600 MHz with 256 Mb of memory, also with XP Home SP 3, this PC updates Avast! within 4 minutes.
