I have been wondering why avast notifies me of a new virus database update twice in succession@ AdDicT, It was especially designed that way just for you to keep you an your toes. The programmers at Avast wanted to make sure you didn't fall asleep during class. ;D
Topic 20 days old duly noted.
It was here I read that the beta 1461 was the version that had this all fixed, so let me just continue with this thread, please. I am now using 1466, which from sequence I am assuming must be beyond 1461, right?
Point is the double announcement is still happening on one computer. In fact, it’s not even happening on a regular basis. Sometimes there’s just the popup and no sound. Sometimes sound and no popup. But most of the time it’s the double announcement like was happening when I started posting about it.
I guess I just wish to be assured that this is on somebody’s “To Do/Fix” list and eventually the lady will get her act together.
But don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining about her pleasant voice. I still think it’s not so bad to hear it twice. Or even three times. But it does seem to be a bit crazier than before – so irregular now. And it does have me a tad worried that it may indicate some sort of deeper problem. Maybe not, right? Just asking.
Was the computer restarted after the program update? To me it sounds like it’s not actually 1466…
- Yep.
- A clean reinstall should fix it.
Well, I guess that question about the verification of the version number is understandable from a troubleshooting point of view. Be assured I have 1466 on all my computers now. The one acting funny with the virus definition update announcement was the first more than a few days ago. It’s definitely the 1466 version.
Ah, the do a clean install idea had already crossed my mind, but if the virus definition update announcement is the only thing that’s wacky, I’m going to pass on another uninstall and new install and all that stuff. I don’t like having to mess about in the registry to make sure all the little bits are gone and all that before doing a new install.
I am just checking to make sure this issue hasn’t been forgotten.
Well, it would be interesting if I am the only one still having the trouble. That would make that unit and the present installation on that unit a kind of collector’s item. I would have to do a video thing and all that. I’d be famous. Maybe get an award or something. Glory. Riches. And I’d owe it all to Avast.
Well, I better wait and see if anyone else is still having problems like me.
