Title: virus updates
Post by: chesjak on March 23, 2018, 06:42:59 PM

Hi
Why do I need to update virus database immediately after having updated the avast free database.

Surely the program update should have done both??

Regards

The program update is staggered over several days or longer.
Why not set your virus updates to auto ??? That way it happens in the background when
they are ready.
