Question/Suggestion (Updated installers)

Hi!
I was wondering why the devs do not release updated installers every month, like they did before.
By this I mean same program version but up-to-date signatures. This is very useful when installing a build that is two months old, because it avoids having to dl a HUGE update. Releasing updated installers every two weeks or so will be REALLY helpful.
I read that build 1473 will be the last until sometime in 2013 (!). Imagine installing this build in january next year, it will take FOREVER to update the first time (I was experiencing that problem with v1466, which was about two months old, REEEEEEAAAALLY long updating times on fresh installs, pretty annoying).
I just hope the devs will take this into consideration.

bye!

bump!

Don’t you get daily updates,or are you talking about engine updates,they only take a few seconds on my pc,and take very little memory.

You didn’t understand what I said. When you install avast on a new PC using a two month old installer, the FIRST update takes FOREVER (because the virus sigs contained in the installer package are too old). Releasing updated installers (with updated virus sigs) every two weeks or so fixes the problem.
get it?

Jvidal, you should go to profile unclick show email address before you start getting spam.

Thx, but I get so much spam already that a few more won’t hurt… ;D
Plus, I can’t find the option. I unchecked allow users to email me, but I’m not sure if that’s the option, prolly not.

It is the option. :wink:
