The streaming definition updates seem to be not working, since updating to Avast 2015, a few days ago. Is the server down, or a program bug? I don't generally look for update popups.
The Avast update panel shows me this:
Virus definitions
Current version: 141223-1
Release date: 12/23/2014 12:08:31 PM
Connection: Connection established
Last update received: 12/23/2014 5:41:09 AM
Current local time is 12/23/2014 8:45 PM
Clicking the update button changes nothing. Someone please explain
I just looked where I think the streaming updates should be on Win 7 and there was no streaming folder C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\defs

I`ve noticed the same thing.
Last update I received was 12/23 at 3:47 pm.Nothing since.
Manual update just states it`s up to date.
-
Nothing here since I switched on my pc at 1738 GMT on the 23rd, looks like the streaming updates aren't being generated at Avast's end.

Mine one is working ok. Last streaming updates I have received was on 25/12/2014 @ 12:14:06pm. Looks like it's working now. Sometimes avast server goes down but the VPS updates gets updated even though no pop-up message appears in Avast 2015.

Staticguy 25/12? It is 24/12 today ;D

I've received on 9 streaming updates withing the past 24 hours.

I've received no streaming updates in the past 24 hours. The VPS has updated normally.
-
Just checked myself - no streaming updates today (December 24th) at all.

Not in Eastern time zone locations Australia, New Zealand, etc. already 25th in some locations.

Now it's showing 0 streaming updates within the past 24 hours.

Same here.

I think the streaming servers aren't being updated. AvastSvc.exe has r-063-041-234-077.ff.avast.com established contact, but no updates. AvastSvc.exe is locked on this server for a considerable time.
-
Now it's showing 0 streaming updates within the past 24 hours.
Of course it will time marches on, if no streaming updates have been released in the period the number in 24hrs will reduce - this figure will always be fluid. There is also no way you can easily compare as it will also be dependant on your time zone in relation to avast's.
-
Looks like they are working again. Just looked and have gotten 12 updates. Not a lot but certainly better than 0!!
-
Yes, streaming updates coming in now - only one VPS 141224-0 so far.

Pretty sure I got that right lol. Am in New Zealand Eddy :D. Read DavidR's comment reply#8.

DavidR - where do you see the VPS number in 2015? I used to see that on the popup which we don't get anymore. I see the streaming updates, but not the VPS.
-
Right click on the avast tray icon, select about avast. Or you can do it long hand by opening the avastUI > Settings > Update - different screen same information, slightly different layout.
-
My streaming updates resumed in the afternoon or evening of December 24, US PST.
Thanks to those that replied.

Thank you DavidR! I never thought to look under About Avast. I appreciate it!

You're welcome.

I see I am not the only one whose streaming updates did not work on Dec 24.
I also note the coincidence that day that my server says I uploaded 0.36GB that day, which is a lot more than usual up to 0.04.
Anyone else notice anything like that?
I'm in New Zealand.
