Hello, I Downloaded Windows 7 Service pack 1. I disabled avast than installed. But For Others idk…

3

The installation went very smoothly. I installed with no problems with Windows 7 Firewall, AIS, Prevx all running. Only thing I noticed was that 3 updates didn’t happen, but they were probably superseded by the service pack, since after reboot they were not prompted for reinstall. No problems until the sudden BSOD, which hasn’t reoccurred since SafeZone died. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=71848.0.

Did the update via Windows Update and the download was a pain on the neck and my Internet connection is good (took almost 30 minutes to download 70~ MB).
Asked for a reboot and took almost 15min to shutdown. The rest of procedure went a bit slow.
Now it’s all OK as far I can see with avast! working with no issues.

I checked for update on my win7 starter edition only to be told my system was up to date, I guess they haven’t modified the one for the win7 32bit starter version yet.

no problem here also
but it took forever
and it said no more updates were available after checking again
but had one failed install-most of been in the service pack also ???

Maybe it’s somehow Windows related, as I have all 4 updates installed here without any problems… SafeZone works OK.

w7 64bit
100sMB online install from WU failed after 1h crunching (even after running the migitation hotfix to ensure nothing is corrupt lol)
900+MB offline install successful after 2.5h crunching

PITA style i would say

All went through good with nothing disabled, only had the one failed update that was superseeded by the sevice pack.

Well, I tried to update, Comodo (in Training mode) gave me problem (caused update progress freeze and also comodo itself get a high-cpu usage. so I uninstalled comodo (I guess forever) and stick my to Security suite.
after uninstall comodo, windows update installed service pack (60MB) easily and quickly with no problem

11

The Update Was 84MB for me ;D

12

Actually, i did the update but I don’t notice anything :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you all for sharing your experience!

I’m just downloading them right now, 3+1 (61.8MB) for win7 starter. whilsit the download started out quite quick it stalled at 31% for some considerable time. Now stalled at 35%

I guess the windows update servers are red hot and under heavy load right now as 61.8MB on my fast broadband would normally be under a minute, feels like back when I was on dial-up (god forbid trying 61.8MB on dial-up).

Still stalled at 35%

Oh boy, same here (that’s when I give up and rebooted!

It has finally finished almost an hour when my broadband downloads are very fast.

I have literally just rebooted on my netbook and it is now going through the Stage 1 of 2 - Configuring Service Pack. That isn’t particularly fast, but on the netbook 2GB DDR3 RAM Atom n550 1.5Ghz dual core, not much of a surprise there.

Now we are seemingly back on the same stage 1 of 2 after what I thought was windows just about to start, sloooooooow.

Wow, what a palaver (never had this hassle with other SP updates) finally started into my normal windows boot and all appears to be running as it should, avast 6.0.992, MBAM Pro, Outpost Firewall Pro.

I just updated it
Everything is fine except Firefox 4 beta 11…It cannot be scrolled up or down using the mouse… :frowning:

@David: when I rebooted in 30% frozen stage, I started to download setup manually, but after a few min windows updater said that update (service pack) is downloaded ans ready to install, I installed SP using windows updater and it only took less than 10 min, never said stage 1 or 2, just said it on percentage (1% 2%…) during shutdown and boot-up. (you have DDR3 RAM and I’ve 2GB DDR2, also my hard is 4200RPM so I could expect a longer setup than you have on your netbook, only my CPU is slightly faster T7200)
