Sorry about my rather late replies. For whatever reason, everything is fine now. I've been receiving updates regularly and all seems well. Thanks for your support.

I tried pinging that address and it was unable to reach it. upgrade1.bitdefender.com as well as upgrade 2 and 3 had similar results The results of nslookup however could reach upgrade 2 and 3. Also thank you for the info about the manual updates.
