How does avast increment the database updates? I notice that each update is named such as 0528-1 and a day or two later will be 0528-2. How do the folks at avast decide to move to 0529-0?
Maybe is the release order inside of the week, as we can have more than one update a day:
1 = 1st updade of the week
2 = 2nd updade of the week
3 = 3rd …
independent of the day-of-the-week
Oh, ok so no matter what, next week, the first update will be 0529-0/0529-1? I never really paid that much attention to the increments. Thanx.
Exactly, the first update next week (and weeks start on Monday here in Europe, not on Sunday as e.g. in the US) will have number 0529-0, the second one 0529-1 etc.
The number after the dash is not day-in-week identifier (actually, I remember having more than 4 updates a DAY) but instead simply a counter (starting at 0).
HTH,
