Why does Software Updater think the local version of IE is 10.0.9200.16611, when according to IE itself I have the latest update 10.0.9200.16618?
idem in vps 131706-02 have been set to the reverse in updating the local version and the new version ;D
same issue here. maybe a bug from a database update?
same issue, running win7 64bit
I’d say this is a “bug” — or “false positive”. I would NOT act upon it… just wait-it-out.
As best as I can tell, this occurs with database 13-06-17-2… it wasn’t happening before this.
I am having the same issue that Emteec is having?
According to ky331 “As best as I can tell, this occurs with database 13-06-17-2… it wasn’t happening before this”. I agree to that as a “bug” or a “false positive”. Prior to having database 130617-2, I didn’t check my software updater relating to the IE10, but I do think this is a bug or a false positive.
“Prior to having database 130617-2, I didn’t check my software updater relating to the IE10…”
In fact, I received a pop-up message from avast alleging that my system’s security was “critical”… and THAT’S when I ran the software updater to see what it thought was happening. On that basis (of the pop-up warning), I am assuming it was not part of earlier updates, as I’ve been online quite a bit today.
Oh! I didn’t get a pop-up message from avast telling my system’s security was “critical”. I normally do a manual software updater check everyday or once every week. So after I did a manual software updater check it showed me that my system’s security as “critical” and then I found out that my IE10 is out-dated which in fact it is not as I checked my IE10 version number which is up-to-date.
It must be a bug or a false positive from software updater. Avast! team need to do something about this asap!
Add me to the list of people affected by the IE10 update false positive.
I also got this notification and my IE is up to date as well. This should be an easy fix. I hope it gets fixed soon.
I think it’s fair to say that this “glitch” is impacting ALL users of IE 10 on Win7 x64… and perhaps other configurations as well. It is NOT a “one-person” issue.
Would it be helpful to send this issue to virus at avast dot com just as a issue to be addressed and sending a screenshot along with it? 
Its a bug people come on. Not that hard to figure out. If you run Windows Update and there are no updates to IE then its obvious Avast has an issue. Relax. :
Just got the same “critical” toaster from Software Updater re IE 10 version update needed 10.0.9200.1611 to 10.0.9200.1618. As I have double-checked the validity of the alert using other installed programs, and also Google, and found nothing amiss, have to put this down to a possible erroneous vps update by avast!
I would not do anything with this alert and wait a couple of days to see if anything changes with new vps’s coming in later on. No new out-of-band patches for IE 10 have been issued today or in the last few days, and all security updates were released on June 11, 2013 by Microsoft.
Secunia PSI is not yet reporting a critical update for IE 10, and here, as in Software Updater, the .exe is reported as 10.0.9200.1611, but no update is called for or needed. If PSI confirms version .1618 is indeed missing, then and only then would I apply the sub_version update. As Software Updater is still a newer program, I’d wait for Secunia to alert and use that to update IE before I used SU.
All Microsoft Updates were applied successfully on Microsoft Tuesday when they came in.
Same Problem for me under Windows 8!
It seems a bug of microsoft and not avast .in internet explorer -about is correct version but not in properties of file
Hey guys,
I don’t think this problem don’t have anything to do with vps update. Just now I received a vps update 130618-0. Still the same problem is happening with Software Updater detecting IE10 out-of-date as we all have up-to-date IE10 for users with Windows 7 and Windows 8. As for false positive, I don’t think so. I think it’s a bug in Software Updater in Avast! programs. I think Avast! team should release an program update for all avast! programs to fix this issue.
Yeah I have that too, but when you open up IE10 and at the top right hand corner you see a screw icon and you click on the screw button and click on “About Internet Explorer” and the version says 10.0.9200.16618. On the software updater the local version for IE10 says 10.0.9200.1611 and the new version says 10.0.9200.16618.
I guess avast updater software detects the version in file properties binaries and therefore cannot be fixed by avast .have be microsoft who to solve it
Uh… I think I have to agree with you. MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) once had that similar problem incorrectly detecting file properties binaries and correct version. I can’t remember exactly… I will go to Microsoft answers forum and see what they say about this issue.
