Although I an receiving streaming updates regularly, my last full VPS update is 171204-02. I realize that my computer is still protected with the latest definitions, but the VPS updates should be updated regularly.
The last VPS received on this XP system was 17120402, so two days. I don’t think it is a single server issue.
I also have a more serious issue on my win10 laptop, avast isn’t doing its housekeeping in removing old VPS sub-folders, I have 7 in all at 130MB a pop.
Since you have the same VPS as I and across the big water, you are right that it isnt’ just the servers I connect to. The server farm is not working correctly or Avast hasn’t released anything newer. There have been newer updates for Avast Mobile Security.
I believe that you restart Windows at least daily. On Windows 7, usually the old VPS folders are deleted on reboot.
They must be releasing new signatures or the frequency and quantity of streaming updates would also be impacted.
Only my XP desktop system gets shutdown at night, the win10 laptop just goes to sleep. However as you can see from my last images there are problems in both, XP not getting them and win10 not getting rid of the old ones.
I am relieved to read this. I noticed it last night and checked again today and mine are 171204-2 also. Came here to see if there was a problem. Glad I am not alone.
My AVAST has not updated since Dec 4. It is still on 171204-2.
I have tried repair and nothing changed. I also went as far as to uninstall and reinstall AVAST and it is still at 171204-2.
Even trying a manual request for update still gets 171204-2 and the message that it is up to date.
Interesting, the program update after restart has got rid of the old VPS sub-folders but the latest VPS is still 171204-2. A manual VPS update still reports I have the latest version.
After the in UI program update I got the slew of popups, confirm your protection level (well I still have 172 days left on this registration). After confirming my protection level as avast free, I get another in your face popup ‘Your loyalty pays off’ with no nice ‘No Thank you’ option.
Used the big X to kill the window and bang up comes another one ‘Not ready to commit’ try a 60 day free trial (and we all know where that leads. Again no nice ‘No Thank you’ option only start free trial, once more it is the ugly exit the big X.
I can understand marketing push when you first install, but when you have 172 days remaining on existing registration. But why are we still getting this mess when registration is a thing of the past.
