I got a notification saying that I need to update my virus definitions, so I opened the app, and lo and behold, there was a big blue button on the dashboard under the "critical issues" section, prompting me to update the malware database. I clicked on it, and it did that little thing that touch screen buttons do when clicked on... and nothing else. I waited for a while, clicked the button again, restarted the app, restarted my phone, tried again, and still got nothing more than a ripple.
While I was looking for solutions to the issue on the forums, I saw that the update had completed.
Could you work on having the Android app show some kind of indication that the database update is being worked on, within a time frame that doesn't make it seem like it's not responding?
Thank you for your consideration,

Visual feedback showing that database update is working would be nice.

Thank you for the response, exile360. I believe I got a notification for when it completed -- I only kind of remember it, but the notification settings I had support that conclusion. So yes, you understood my description correctly.
Considering how long it actually took for the download to complete after the reboot, I'd say that it's a fairly reasonable amount of time for such a download to complete -- not so much for a download to start, though, as until then that's what it felt like I was waiting for.
