I run windows 8 Pro on a 64 bit System.
Can't update when there aren't any updates available. ???
How do I change the message or stop it from giving the System a bad rating ???
-
Exact same problem here.... I click fix now and there's no updates available on Windows 8...
The message will stop if you tell it to ignore Internet explorer.

Since the release that's quoted by Avast is the RTM version which isn't release through the updater,
it's something avast! shouldn't find as outdated.
Not something for me to mark as ignore. :)

From what I have found, the newest version (in Bob's image) is for IE10 for Windows 7. I don't see anything for the local version though.

I'm trying to locate a more accurate IE10 version release history for W8.

Then why is it coming as outdated? It doesn't affect the other browsers other than IE.

I believe that's the question I originally asked but haven't yet received an answer too.

This will be updated on Patch Tuesday.

Thanks Bob for that info, I have the same problem here, wonder why only IE 32 bit is flagged by Avast though??

You're welcome. Since patch Tuesday hasn't arrived, it never should have been flagged in the first place on a windows 8 system.
Since this a new free service I guess there are still some bugs that need to be worked out. :)

Tell me about it. I have FF 19.0.2 installed yesterday and Software Updater said "Local version 19.0.02" and "New version 19.0". I just got VPS 130308-1 so I thought, now SU have to report the correct FF version. I went to SU and it was reporting the same so I hit the Rescan buttom. LOL what the heck ? FF is now gone. It is not detected by Software Updater ;D :o ::) >:(

I just received another notice:

Clicking on Show details reveals the following:

Clicking on the Fix now button brings up the following:

Clicking on Check for updates reveals the following:

I obviously can't fix what isn't available.
All this proves is that tweaks still need to be made to this part of avast!8
It also proves that this module of avast! 8 is aware of an update to the suspected out of date program
which Microsoft is slow in releasing to it's customers.
-
Microsoft is slow in releasing to it's customers.
Why is Microsoft doing this?
Just waiting for Tuesday?
-
They have been doing this for a very long time, it is a very rare occasion that MS release an out of sequence (non-patch Tuesday) security update.

Nothing new. It's called Patch Tuesday.
As David mentioned, very few exceptions to this scheduled update have ever occurred.
-
well in my case it didnt show updates for Chrome, Firefox and iTunes. and once I got the newer versions it still shows the old ones as the 'new' version. Also now it doesnt show firefox at all, its not in the application list :/
-
No firefox listed here also.
