All of a sudden F-Secure decides to stop updating on the hour

[Tony Johansson]

Had the exact same problem, same date as well.
After some investigating I found a hung process: "/opt/f-
secure/fsav/bin/getdbhtp -url=http://avupdate.F-
Secure.com/updates/something"

"killall getdbhtp" returned everything to normal
