Hello,
current status is that the issue should be fixed with next release of VPS which is being built right now. It takes some time, so it should be our at around 9 pm (GMT+2) the latest. Internal tracking number of the bug is ASCU-138.
I will keep you posted.

Cheers,
B.

So AVAST messed up their Anti-Virus Software again ?
That’s great, especially for a Software which should protect my PC from damage and not messed up my System.

Well, at last they inform the Users, admit their error and try to fix it.

27

The software is not there to protect a system.
It is there to help protecting a system.
Security starts with the user, not with hardware and/or software.

I would have sent my logs, but I formated my pc and re installed my OS so there are no logs when the issue happens again i will send u the logs, Thanks avast team.

29

Hi, some difficulties appeared.
We are on it, will keep you informed.

Sorry for troubles,
B.

31

This happened back in 2010 and the issue was fixed and now its back again, i guess bugs happen and we can just inform avast and they fix it :slight_smile: its like this with pretty much ever software, am glad its been fixed.

32

Endt Take ur time dont feel rushed because some people woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Those guys giving avast a hard time chill, nearly every software has some form of bugs. Everything cant be perfect, we are all human. If your going to give avast a hard time go build ur own perfect antivirus and use it. The avast team are doing there upmost best to fix the issue chill and wait, its not like its the end of the word.

33

To put things in perspective : Definitely not everyone is suffering from this bug.
Me neither, and so far none of the people I help.

Greetz, Red.

34

And finally, it is out.

Thanks for your patience,
B.

35

To manually update to VPS 160908-2 : Avast - Settings - Update - Virus Definitions - Update - OK.

Greetz, Red.

36

Is the fix for Virus Definitions or Program?
My definitions updated today at 1:09 Pm PST to 160908-2
My Program says it is up to date with the 8/19 update.

Thanks!

37

If your VPS (virus database update) is at 160908-2 then the issue is fixed.

38

VPS updates contains virus definitions - and/or small program updates.

Greetz, Red.
