Update Onscreen Box

yesterday when my update box came up from the lower right-hand corner to let me know that Avast Antivirus was being update, it change from blue to red. Then this box came up in the middle of the screen saying:
Avast! Antivirus Setup
Summary
Total Time: 4:32
Vps Update
[previous version:090426.0,updated version: 090427.0
Server: download 933. avast.com[74.54.25.224]
Downloaded files: 5[50.74.KB]
Download time: 8s

What I am trying to figure out is if my Avast is still working right or do I need to uninstall and reinstall. It has not done any update since this happened yesterday so I feel that my computer in going unprotected. I desperately need some help with this as it has always done it’s job before. I also use Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware.


From the information given, it seems that avast updated correctly.

I have no idea why the box changed from blue to red. If there is no red “slashed circle” over the avast icon in the tray, then it should be working correctly.

It is rare these days to not have a daily update but it does happen occasionally.



I thank you for your reply. I will not worry about it then. I do know that we had a terrific storm here in Texas on Monday and lost the electricity. I always shut my computer down when leaving and when I came home, we had apparently lost the electricity and the computer came on so take it we had a power surge. Also thought that might have caused a problem. Again, I thank you much.


You are welcome … glad to help.

Version: 090428.0 is the lastest update as of this posting. Has your avast updated today? If not, it may update in a few hours. Not everyone gets the updates at the same time but usually within 24 hours.


The box being Red is normally an indication the update failed.

As CharleyO mentions, - (current version 090428-0), so you should have had that update notification too ?

If not do a manual update, right click the avast ‘a’ icon, select Updating, iAVS Update and let us know if that works.

I did the update as of right now and it showed the correct update. Will see if my blue box comes up anytime today as it usually does. I usually see it several times a day. As of right now, I have not seen the box since Monday.

Hopefully it was just a one off blip.

will keep you posted on it’s progress. thank you so much.

You’re welcome.
