Saturday, 26 May 2012, Chicago. April 26, 2012 I downloaded and installed Avast Pro 7.0 and made several settings changes. I checked streaming updates. Since then the program’s definitions version is blocked, nothing comes up. I get red signs asking me to update. The streaming is OK. But the virus definitions update still sends up the red window asking to be updated. I can only assume that to activate the streaming function, the definitions version is shut off, but the red window appears every so often asking to be updated. Is this a program error or what do I do to activate the definitions version updating and still keep the streaming updating??? Please help. Chuck Y
- OS…?? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP…?)
- Other security related software installed…??
- Which AV did you use before avast!..??
No, streaming updates certainly don’t shut down ordinary updates - on contrary, streaming updates require the ordinary updates to be set to “automatic”.
Also, streaming updates should be enabled by default, it shouldn’t be necessary to enable the feature first.
