I always update iAVS manually and have never had a problem until today. When I attempted to update I got a strange iAVS definition number and an installation window with two progress bars in it instead of the usual one. Also the definitions update file was huge, like the size of a program update. After appearing to download the whole thing Avast popped up that there was an error and allowed me to save a Debug log. I then reattempted the manual definitions update which proceeded normally. So far everything appears to be fine but I was wondering exactly what happened and if I need to be looking for any specific problems with my Avast installation after this. Would Avast like to have the debug log and if so where should I send it?
Yep, sorry. We had a major outage of our updating infrastructure (about one third, i.e. 100 of our servers went down) and when they got finally revived, they were serving OUTDATED data. I.e. you effectively downgraded your VPS to the previous version (hence the huge update) only to download an incremental update to the latest version a few moments later (from another server which was up to date)…
