I can't update a2 anti-malware 4.0 !

This update size is very big, my download speed is 5 kb/s

I’m not sure what we on the avast forums can do about that as a-squared has nothing to do with Alwil software, the makers of avast anti-virus ???

Looks like time to switch to a different anti-spyware and I would say that both MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware are both better than a-squared. I’m on dial-up and have both of these and only do manual updates once a week, MBAM is a little under 2MB and SAS is a bit over 3MB, so not to much hassle.

a2 anti-malware 4.0
had the version(got it on the giveaway of the day site) for a-while and took it off after it was reporting way toooooo many false positives like the free version does >:( :P also use SAS and MBAM for scanners and Avast! and Windows Defender as real-time :)

Also:

  1. Drawbacks in registry restore.
  2. Large (non-incremental) updates.
