If you use Avast Anti-virus.....

You may have noticed that Avast's Updates aren't working today, because of a server problem. You likely got a '404' error.  Not to worry, your protection is still working on your yesterday's updates, and you can still do scans, etc., as usual. 
Avast will very likely have it fixed soon. And you are not alone - there's millions of us - so try to relax. 

If you find yourself edging toward panic, you can always try the free versions of 
SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes. They're both good, and both are working just fine. I have all three of these programs, so I know. And contrary to popular belief, they all work together without problems. I've been using them for ages and I started mostly to prove that you can in fact run more than one security program without conflicts. These modern ones have solved that problem.
