I have been using this AOL active virus shield for quite some time now, but it only since last friday i am not able update the antivirus bases using the built in menu option "Update".... it give me the error 'incorrect signatures'

i have posted the screenshot of the prob.
anybody using the same AV ? are you able to update automatically? (am able to update manually, but it's bit tricky and can lead to antivirus malfunctioning if file is copied wrongly)

help me...

how come u'r able to update,..?
anyways they are offering a new one by the name of McAfee virusscan plus, the interface looks just like avs, but i doubt it's as capable as that of avs...
though aol has been providing good service but am still in doubt, the software licence will expire in 2008,does this mean that you won't be able to use avs after feb?
any suggestions or comments.
