Title: Update Notification
Post by: ktjwahl on January 28, 2020, 06:25:01 PM

I am no longer getting the notification of an update required for Avast. It always says that You Are Protected. It used to show an
Exclamation mark(!) over imposed on the Avast tray icon and state that an update is needed but all of a sudden it doesn't show
anymore. I'm running Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. I am also using an old desktop running Vista and it shows the update required
exclamation mark(!) when an update is needed.

How old are your virus definitions? This warning should appear when older than 8 days.

Not sure how many days it's been. Is this something new in the latest release for Windows 10. On my old Vista desktop i get the
notification every day or at least every other day.
