Ok, How long should it take for the VRDB to be “completed”? I mean, I left it runing for two days straight doing nothing else (not even connected to the internet, I unplugged it) so I could devote all system proceses to just AVAST’s VRDB and the bare-bones system proceses (taskmgr.exe, and so on).
It’s still not done. How do I calculate how long this should take?
When no RunInterval value is in the avast4.ini file, the default (3 weeks) is used. I’m afraid I don’t know how long the VRBD generation can take… of course, it depends on how much files and programs you have on your disks… I think it shouldn’t take very long (an hour?) - but I really don’t know, I may be com-pletely wrong. As for shortening the interval of VRBD generation I suggest you read this forum. By default, VRBD is updated every 3 weeks; the interval can be changed by editting avast4.ini file, though. More information about the avast4.ini file you can see here.
Thank you, Technical.
With a clean install of XP (no updates) and just a couple of programs added, VRDB on my computer takes just about 10 minutes to do its thing. With all the XP updates installed (and with the programs I add), it takes little over 30 minutes.
Sarge, I suspect it depends upon how many programs you’ve got on your hard drive – the more, the longer.
Perhaps your operating system processing speed has something to do with it? Avast! Team should be able to provide you with a better answer.

Sarge, what is the current size of the file \data\integ\avast.int? And what is its current timedate?
Thanks
