Avast is always one of the first to release emercency updates when needed.

This has been proven alot lately. With mimail, blaster, etc…

When there is no major danger , updating 1 or 2 times a week is good enough.

I personally run F-secure 5.41 also on my main box, wich updates daily, atleast the Kaspersky engine (F-prot engine updates 2/week, and Orion engine only a few times a month) but most of the time, these are updates for a few new non common variants or non-in the wild virusses that you will most likely never meet.

So whats the point to update daily then?

I’m glad that Avast launches DIRECTLY updates when it’s most needed ! ;D

Kind regards,
