According to http://www.avast.com/en-au/virus-update-history for 18/11/2013 it is 131118-0
It appears no one with 2014 has got an update since 131116-1 which was 16/11/2013.
I thought VPS updates were issued at least once daily
Nothing to do until Avast update their server.
Maybe someone is asleep at the wheel?
Whilst I am not concerned about the lack of a VPS update there are obviously those who are so it would be nice to have some input from the Avast! team.
I have all the up-to-date streams but do we know if the 131118 streams are applied to the 131116 VPS definition?
I just wonder when this VPS Update History is going to show the two different update streams avast 6-8 and avast 9, as a single page gives rise to confusion.
In the interim period I have received a total of 398 streaming updates.
No VPS updates here since 11/16. However Streaming updates are current and I am assuming that these are actually more important to virus detection. Is this correct?
ok im still showinh 11/16/13 last definition update , i did repair and still wont update
As I said in my post, the avast 9 updates are on a different update stream/cycle to the earlier avast versions (6-8). A repair won’t change that fact, all you have to do is either a manual update to confirm you have the latest update or wait for it to happen automatically.

I am not sure what is there to worry when VPS updates are not reaching but streaming updates, continuously, are! I’ve got 289 streaming updates in the last 24 hours so yeah, I think its enough. Also, VPS updates are not necessarily the only definitions who are solely responsible for the detection of malwares. They contain fixes too. But regardless, its still a curiosity why so many users are not recieving the update yet when their history page states that current is 131118-0.
ok i tried manually im not new to avast still says im up to date and where do you see streaming ?
and where do you see streaming ?
Open avast UI > Statistics > Historical data / Component status
Me pasa algo parecido, podeis mirar mi caso por que aparte de eso analizando se me queda en 0%…
Dejo aqui mi caso: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=140229.0
I sent an e-mail to the helpdesk. But instead of checking whether anything was wrong with the server, they asked me to:
Which just confirms that you have the latest version for avast 9, as I have said that update history page is confusing as avast 9 is on a different definitions update.
You can check the avast UI > Statistics > Historical data / Component status for the number of streaming updates. But that may not be accurate in this instance as it only shows the number for the last 24 hours and the last release was greater than 24 hours. That is why I counted the physical count using windows explorer for the defs folder and stream sub-folders C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\defs, e.g. 99999999_stream
Avast 9 Free version, last streaming update Nov. 17th, nothing on the 18th or since, still on 131116-1, Component status says 4 updates received in last 24 hours. Any reason for concern?
Also on Update page in Virus Definitions box under Connection: it says Connection not established. Is this why I’m not receiving more recent updates, and if so what to do about it?
Thanks for any input!
Edit-Just ticked ‘My computer is permanently connected to the internet’ under ‘Details’. Updated manually, still nothing new.
Just adding my voice. The date is now 131118 and it’s still at 131116-1. What is concerning me, is that I’ve had Avast now for just about as long as it’s been in existence, and I don’t recall this ever happening before. ??? I do feel a bit better knowing that I’m not alone with this issue.
sorry but you are not alone because I have the same problem. :o
I have the same Problem…
on my Mobil is Version 118.0 and on the Laptop already 2 Days 116.1…
I try to repair and reboot etc … no change… use Avira in the meantime…
Hi. I have got the same problem. My PC has a Windows XP ServicePack 3 32bit system. My Avast version is 2014.9.0.2008 and the database is 131116-1. I can’t update the database.
The VPS 131116-1 is still being updated via streaming, mine had it’s last stream update half an hour ago so there is nothing to worry about guys. 
As of now there has not been a VPS update for the V9 stream. This is different to V8 and the mobile data streams. The emphasis now is more on streaming updates than a block update based on what I am seeing… I have no qualms running with the 16th VPS as I am still getting 200+ streaming updates per day. I believe this to be a storm in a teacup My two pennorth
Your post makes good sense essexboy, I am now getting well over 200 streaming updates as well, since I ticked ‘my computer is always connected’. Thanks for your input!
