SE1R85 4 Jan 2006

Thanks for the notice. But I get weird behavior trying to update. I do the
usual, "update now", "connect" and it looks like it starts to download, then
a popup pops up:

"The downloaded definition file could not be read. Please update again"

I hit OK, then it looks normal and says "web update complete", the bar shows
100%, etc, except the installed definitions file is still
SE1R82.19.12.2005 -- or is that normal before you hit finish?

Temporary glitch? or have I been hit by a nasty bug? or?
 
?

It could be a cache problem, yours or your ISP's.

You can get your update from the site in the sig if you wish.

Same problem here. They must be having a server problem. I'd suggest
waiting until later in the day and try again.

Must be a Server overload, what with the WMF exploit making everyone
crazy and all. It took me about a half an hour to get through, and I
finally got the update:

I'm having the same problem.
It's happened to me before, but it usually clears up by the next update.

Thanks for all the suggestions (other sites, etc).
They'll be there in case of future need, but the simplest one worked: "Try
again tomorrow"

Just updated transparently, and AdAware is chuggin away looking for nasties.

(In fairness to myself, I had tried a few times over the space of maybe an
hour.)
