Most of the errors say 'bad request' for server 62.146.66.180, 80.190.143.226, 80.190.143.229. Are these chosen automatically by Avira or do you have the option to choose from different servers?

Checking the UpdateLib delivers error 537, it could be that the Avira servers may be under high utilization because of a large VDF update again. This has happened several times before and they posted announcements.

I will try manually updating later tonight and see what happens. Trying to update manually earlier today had the same results. At least with Avira there is a log.
