I’ve got avast! set to update automatically when new versions are available but it’s been days since a new version became available (9.0.2007) and it’s still at 9.0.2006. My PC, my parents PC, my friends PC… They’re all stuck at the older version despite configured to auto-update.
I tried restarting the PCs but that didn’t solve the issue…
If I go to the settings → update, ironically it says a newer version is available (if I hit update it starts downloading it from 0% so it’s not like it was waiting a confirmation or something).
This is in a clean 9.0.2006 install and also in installs that I manually updated from 8 to 9.
I actually don’t recall when it was the last time I hadn’t to manually update because the auto-update mechanism doesn’t works, I think it’s been like that in version 8 and probably 7 too.
I don’t use any proxy, and my friends for example use completely different connections so that’s not the issue, avast! is free to do whatever it wants but it simply doesn’t…
Did it update by itself or you needed to do it manually?
It’s not relevant when you have it installed on many computers - on some cases you don’t want people to start doing it by themselves.
Besides, it should occur automatically. The main reason is security - you should want it to be updated as soon as possible.
But it’s more than a month!
Let say a few days.
You know what - maybe a week or two.
But more than a month for a program update? Why?
Even if they have a lot of users, it should update more frequently.
