According to the update program my VPS is already up to date

  • Vps: Already up to date
    (current version 090701-0)

Server: a959sl.avast.com (74.86.232.39)
Downloaded files: 2 (0.02 KB)
Download time: 1 s

HOWEVER when I click on About avast! it says File Version 090630-0

I would imagine the (unresponded to) advice proffered by Tech in this similar post might be a good thing to try.
Hopefully Tech will see this new thread, or you might like to post it to your original thread.

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. This has in the past resolved this out of sync issue between reported and actual VPS version.

Please, post the last 300-350 lines of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

FYI
As of July 2 versions are the same again.

I’ll look for the anomoly again on August 1.

Your log seems ok. I’m not sure that the last lines anyway, not the first ones.
Glad it’s ok now.
