What's up with the AVG 7 free update servers being so busy lately. :?

The last two days it been a pain in the a..,it connect to update then it disconnect a second or 2 after it makes a connection.

I've been to the forum & all they say is there servers for the free version has been overloaded & busy. :x

I can't even go to the AVG free site today either.

I seem to have it working ok just now. Maybe it's just a packet jam thing. Try again later.

I am completely up to date no problems, except for Java/Open Stream x2 found yesterday.
I don't know anything about it. Spyware? I've put one in the vault the other is embedded :?

Creatures such as Javabyte and Open Stream find their way in through updates to you java runtime environment (JRE). You should be able to remove these nasties fairly safely by going to the file identified and simply deleting it (you'll probably find it's a zip file). If you still have problems you'll need to change your java runtimes. (That means, if you have Sun java, you'll need to get the M$ version or vice versa.)
