The updates are currently 4 days behind... I believe that fetching and approving the updates from AVG, then publishing them on the Declude server is a manual process that Declude support staff must perform, and that it's not a reliable process.
I think it best that we consider the AVG scanner to be "ok at best" and if we want "very good" we need to invest the money and CPU time in at least one other scanner engine.

I even posted the stats for several days where it showed that every few days new viruses were being caught by my secondary scanner (McAfee), which truly does have hourly updates - and would have been passed through to my desktops if I had relied on Decludes AVG scanner. I have the feeling that changing your poll time from 4 hours to 2 will only mean that you'll be finding out twice as often that they have a 2-day old update. I'm curious what the answer is - but somewhere in the back of my head I think I had previously read that Declude will occasionally get updates from AVG which in turn you get from them. If my recollection/understanding is accurate, then the "real" frequency is controlled by Declude's server, not yours.
