updating avast 5.1.864

i have updated to avast 5.1 and found that when u right click on avast tray icon , select update->Program, the maintenance tab in avast UI opens yet the update doesnt start as it was in avast5.0!! also right click icon->update->Engine and virus definitions also open avast UI but the update doesnt start…!

is it a problem wit my avast or others too experience the same ?

Alwil has confirmed this as a bug. See the following thread:

If the Avast Team is aware it is a bug, which they did, it will be fixed in time. I do not know when this will be fixed, however they must prioritize the bug fixes. Thank you for your patience.

nice to know the bug is being taken care of ;D ;D ;D
