No More Update Pop Up Panel and Voice Announcements?

A few days ago I noticed that I no longer get the voice announcements and the pop up panel when avast Pro updates the definitions. This is happening now on all my computer some running build 462 and others running build 507. Checking the date of the definitions seems to indicate that I do indeed have the latest definitions downloaded and installed.

I did a search and saw that this or a very similar issue has happening earlier. Uninstall and reinstall seemed to be a fix.

Why does this happen? What else happens that I am not aware about? If uninstall and reinstall is the fix, what is there to prevent this from happening again? I mean, come on… bring us a real fix instead of this uninstall and reinstall “poo-poo del toro”. There must be a common cause of all my computers loosing the pop up panel and voice announcement around the same time frame.

Have you made any changes to the avast settings, in particular Silent/Gaming Mode.

No changes made whatsoever.

Well I don’t really know what to suggest, given that this is happening across different computers and different builds.

Do you have the same firewall in all systems (and if so what) ?
Though that shouldn’t be an issue as you say that they all appear to be up to date.

Try a repair of avast on one of them and see if that makes a difference. Though again it doesn’t account for why it has to all of your systems and different builds.

From windows Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.

As of today everything is back to normal on all computers without any doing on my part. Hope it stays this way.

I hope so too.

Weird though, computers bah, can’t live with them, can’t live without them ;D
