@ Tech.

My XP sounds like if it tries to do it, but not quite. Its dong dong, or ding ding, what ever the sound is written, does not sound right. It is like cut off at the end and then it tries to sound again but doesn't. The female voice sound OK BTW.

For me it's working. If the programmers don't answer it is most probably that they can't reproduce bobo1's problem.

Well, we've an ongoing thread in the German section. (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=100459.0)
It seems to be only affecting W2K/XP systems and it has been reported to the devs already.

I've certainly heard that double audio message when the Green Popup pops up after a Definitions Update.

I am going to experiment with avast on my other test computer and and re load xp in default conditions fresh install without updates and try this version of avast again with internet connection and see what happens if it is still buggy on the sound? (unless it is related to a windows update that is causing it). FOR DIAGNOSTICS.
Will post a reply soon if still the same in a few hours as i am on the test computer now. Will be destroying the hard drive image when i go offline and re-load xp

Count me in as another XP user who has been experiencing this for two or three weeks now.

Can confirm on my test computer. Fresh install of avast latest version, default install of windows xp UNPATCHED . Is doing double sounding green popup box for virus database is updated.

Reset xp to default again and installed older version of avast and the sound is ok. IE sounds once on green virus update popup box on the older version

Mine does it as well. XP Pro with SP3 and all other updates. It was fine before the update to 1456

'Avast Virus Database has been Updated...........................Avast Virus Database has been Updated' - Doing it to me too. All a bit Groundhog Day. My system seems to have slowed down somewhat whilst using the Internet as well.

I'm using XP Pro with SP3 and all other updates too. Mine was also fine before the update to 1456.

...irksome!
