Yesterday I, for some reason, updated “program”, before I updated “engine and virus definitions” on my Avast! Free 5.0. I didn’t think it would matter. However when I clicked on “engine and virus definitions”, it informed me that my defintions were already up to date, which is very unusual, because it always before downloaded new definitions every day. Did I screw up? ???

No it wouldn’t matter at all.
Program update does update both: program AND virus definitions.
The order doesn’t matter so much as the Program update will also do a “engine and virus definitions” update during that process.
There hasn’t actually been a program update 5.0.545 for a while now.
Thanx Pondus, Tech, and DavidR!!! Sets my mind at ease.
No problem, glad we could help.
