Hello
I have installed the latest version of the avast software and when it boots up, I get the “advast virus database has been updated” message twice.
I do not think that this is normal and I do not know how to correct it. I have search the web for a solution but I cannot find one.
any help would be appreciated
thanks,
Tim
Tlhavast welcome to Avast! forums
No solutons yet. It is a glitch. Many have reported it.
Ongoing problem fault
Just thought I’d add a +1 here. Have been getting these double announcements since last week when I updated Avast on 3 different PCs. 2 x on XP service pack 3, and my own laptop on Windows 7.
It’s annoying, but not life threatening 
I’ve just joined to report the same problem on Windows 7 64-bit SP1 on my pc. It’s just annoying. Sorry, replied to wrong thread.
That’s OK, at least you reported.
I consider it a very unimportant problem. Maybe not a problem at all. Obviously the avast! folks feel the same.
In my same situation.
the problem occurs from about 2-4 days
The first time there is no green pop-up display, then a second later I get the pop-up screen and then the repeat vocal message.
Windows 7 SP1
Avast 7.0.1456

" Avast! has updated your data base"
I know, I know, my dear.
You are sooooo sweet that I forgive you !
I’m so anxious to hear your sexy voice again and again and again.
Maybe just like the Avast developers. 
The double sounding glitch has long been known to the developers and will be fixed in the next program release. Currently a new beta version of Avast is tested where this issue is resolved among others: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=102720.msg822597#msg822597
Nice to know I can find my questions answered here. Has only done it since my up grade to ‘Internet Security’.
It announces twice on each: Vista Home on Laptop, Dual Boot of WinXPpro and Win7.
Will be looking for more items in this forum.
Thanks
This has been going on for over a month now, do the developers really not care about it, or can’t they fix it?
Did you even read the latest replies in this topic…?? ???

No, I didn’t read the replies on that topic… Just have, and it states that the double announcement has now been fixed.
Well, I can confirm it isn’t - it just did it on my laptop 5 minutes ago. Like I said in my original post, it isn’t a life threatening issue, but it is getting to be darn annoying
Guess, you don’t run the beta, do you…?? 
Let me clear something up - I’m not a computer expert. I’m a man of simple means, and when I download ‘Avast’, I use the link that pops up on ‘google’. Also, when I get a pop-up from Avast telling me they’ve got an ‘update’ they think I should download, I trust them and do what they say.
To me, a ‘beta’ version of anything is like buying a prototype car, it may look good, but the customer is expected to fix/report all the faults so the ‘proper’ version can eventually be released to the general public. I consider myself to be firmly a member of the general public, and therefore expect that when Avast ask me to ‘update’, it’s to a version that has been tested & works…
I know there are many folk who find it a hobby to download ‘beta’ versions, discuss the endless pros & cons on internet forums, suggest fixes to the developers, may even write a bit of code on the side to submit - but I’m not that guy.
It’s been fixed in the beta version… now that’s a fat lot of good since we are all obviously not running the beta version so what good is coming out with a comment like that!
What should be happening is that Avast should be giving a release date to make everybody happy… get it, make everybody happy rather than have folks yelling its been fixed, maybe then folks might not get so frustrated.
How long is it going to take… it makes it sound was we are being fobbed off! I ain’t going to be renewing if it isn’t fixed, my license runs out in 9 days!
This isn’t a glitch far from it, someone at Avast has made a dogs dinner of things! Any explanation why it happened - I don’t think so!
What is delaying this beta version?
Dave
Well, that’s no problem. Just wait for the next final version.
“Testing”, so no date for final release can be given till all testing is complete ( get it : ).
Craigb:
Lol, so the bad version wasn’t tested then, is that it?
Dave
I couldn’t agree more!! : 8)
