I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a sort of strange behaviour in AVG Free Anti-Virus v7.5 which is:
As soon as the computer is started AVG loads an Automatic Update window, yet is unable to download any updates. Subsequently canceling the Automatic Update window and then performing a manual update finds and downloads the needed update(s) without any problem.

i had that issue today but it happened when i was manually updating. maybe AVG's servers were acting strange at the time.

Having intermittent problems with manual updates with AVG AS that have been happening the last couple of days.

I believe I found the problem on my system at least. It was because of the newest Arovax Shield which was causing not only the AVG updater to hang and be non-responsive it was also effecting other installed applications by making them hang such as WinRAR when adding files to an archive, etc.

I'm using Arovax Shield and no hang problems with AVG Free Anti-Virus v7.5 and WinRar (with ordinary maneuver). At least until now...

With AVG I had this annoyance in the first manual update. After that all is ok.
