AMUN is getting his programs crossed. AVG upgraded to ver 7.5. Ad-Aware free
is 1.06r1. I have not had any problem updating on line. You may have a
corrupted file. You should probably download a fresh copy from Lavasoft,
Remove it completely from your system and reinstall. No one I know using are
having any problem. Once in a while for a period after the put a new file
out it will hang at 5% and fail. Waiting a few hours usually solves the
problem as it is just the server is at it's maximum users.
