Virus definitions

Still much as this morning. Latest virus definition 191015-6 and streaming going into 1910186_stream. So probably still not working properly.

It would be nice to get a report from Avast before the weekend on progress and when everything should be back-to-normal.

+1 Agreed

So, in the spirit of fairness , how difficult would be for an Avast! employee to post here what happened, how are they going to solve the issue and the time frame for the solution…

Pretending that nothing happened and maintaining silence is not an answer…

No one is pretending that nothing is happening or maintaining a silence.

Did you read all of this topic, I think not, Reply #12, 3 days ago.

“Reply #12, 3 days ago.”

Well, that’s my point: THREE DAYS AGO !!!

So, why bother with VPS updates if we are protected by streaming updates???
Let’s eliminate VPS updates all together…

Hi guys, latest VPS update here is 191018-6.

Same here,but had to restart the avast service to be able to see the 191018-6.So not fixed yet.

Yep. Same here. It was automatically (at least in my case):

  • 191012-6 (from 12.10.19)
  • 191015-6 (from 16.10.19)
  • 191018-6 (from 18.10.19)

But still… it would be nice - to see the current state, of the “stream update”, in Avast menu. Not only in the folder.

Didn’t have to do anything, it was there shortly after I checked my system, but according to the date stamp for the folder it arrives last night at 21:58 UK local time. And I have had more stream updates this morning.

What I also noticed is the update to the aswdefs.ini file at the same time last night as VPS 19101806.

Also, I noticed the C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\setup\servers.def file was updated this morning at 9am UK local time. This may well be more important.

Thanks @DavidR :slight_smile:
Any official reply from avast would be welcome regarding this.

Mine is still at 191009-4 , but streaming updates OK

Legacy versions will get fixed later on.

I’m not entirely sure about that, whilst Avast Free 7.0.1474 is bloody old, I think this problem is not just a version specific issue. Why the ‘claudiubotezatu’ is refusing the update to 9.0.1506 is somewhat strange, it wouldn’t be offered if it weren’t compatible with his OS.

Given what I said in Reply #70 other I believe other files might need to be updated (aswdefs.ini and servers.def):

I guess this might need to be done as either a micro update or through the Engine and Virus definitions update. That would almost certainly entail a delay as the hundreds of millions of current versions are updated.

That said my XP Pro system has had these files updated and that has Avast Free version 18.5.2342. EDIT typo.

Hi Dave, guess you mean V18.5, I wouldn’t call this a legacy version (yet). :wink:

" Avast Free 7.0.1474 is bloody old"

Avast 7.0.1474 it is known to be the best version ever , offered by Avast so far. (see various forums)

Yes my dodgy typing strikes again, spell checker is no good for numeric values :slight_smile:
