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…
It’s not like I you aren’t protected

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