Avast IS 7.0 requires restart every time I update!

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

And it has nothing to do with my.avast.com.

There are two separate images and two separate problems posted by the OP, the first relates to being unable to connect to my.avast.com and the second totally unconnected requiring the user to restart after an update. And you continue to link this inability to connect to my.avast.com with other unrelated issues.

so it is a bug, repair ant reinstall doesn’t fix that (after manually pressing Update program).

Well this is indicating that it is the program update side that is requesting the restart, have you actually restarted ?

I haven’t seen this in regard to this avast7 version, but there used to be an issue some considerable time ago when a registry key (I believe) wasn’t being reset so was still present even after reboot. Unfortunately this was so long ago that I can’t recall the key or element that needed resetting.

I restarted many times and every time i press Update program, AIS asks to restart PC.

25

So you’ve shown what isn’t causing the problem. Fine. What IS causing the problem, then? (That, you didn’t address.)

26

I have tried to draw this old looping restart issue up to see if this jogs someone’s memory as to the value which indicates a restart is required.

Are you also getting this restart required if you just do a manual engine and virus definitions update ?

27

Only when pressing Update program, no restart request pressing Update engine and virus definations.

Well in general you shouldn’t need to routinely check for Program Updates, as the default settings are set to Ask, so it checks automatically if a program update is available you get a notification pop-up Asking if you want to install it now.

That said, it shouldn’t require a restart unless an update was found and you applied it.

I checked mine, existing program version 7.0.1426 and off it goes to check at the end of that check it reports I’m up to date, I click OK and it is done, no restart required.

So this will need some avast developer input.
