Running Win 7 Pro SP1, this machine was just powered up about 50 minutes ago. No BSOD yet. And, VPS 170320-01 has been released just now.

Seems you’re lucky. 8)

Are you saying you’ve updated to the latest definition and you’re still receiving the BSOD?

Nope, he says the opposite.

It’s on my machine, with 4 definitions in it’s folder. How is this explained, if it wasn’t released?

I see, that’s only the stream. Sorry.

Should be officially released then in just over 30 mins.

So I take it the AVG forums are filled with this?

I pushed it out as a task on the cloud console to update the virus definitions.

How can I do that if it won’t open?

Then restart the pc and go to safe mode(F8) with network and do that.

It will not open in safemode. Brings up UI FAILED TO LOAD. Green options below don’t help.

The fix is going to be present in the next virus definition update. Estimated time of delivery is CET 4pm (in about 2 hours from now). Will keep you posted.

Time for you to get a new QA manager & test setup.
This is not the first time avast has massively screwed its customer base over.
