Guys, for info, I finally got to the bottom of this. Around a week ago, I'd switched to OpenDNS for another issue, and hadn't moved back off it. Went back to my normal DNS server this morning, and Avira happily updated itself

OpenDNS issue rather than Avira

Just curious, Dan - do you also have Limewire?
It's just that almost everyone I see with AVG installed, also has Limewire. And wonders why their computer is messed up.Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
