Good evening,
I am running Comodo v3.0.25.378 along with Avast 4.8 Home on WinXP Home, SP#3, running IE7.
For one reason or another I seem to be having trouble utilizing the automatic update feature for Avast. My computer seems to freeze on me when I am doing an automatic update every once in a while. It is usually when I am away from the computer and I think it has something to do with my Comodo settings but I am not sure.
So, because of this I have started to manually do the updates every day.
However, when doing it manually I notice that the updates are no longer logged in the 'Antivirus' section in my Event Viewer like the automatic updates were previously.
Is this by design or am I missing a setting?
Thanks and regards,
2harts4ever

When you did this manual update, was there actually an update downloaded ?
I suspect not as I think (dangerous I know) that only successful updates are recorded.
Failed updates would also be recorded, certainly in the acast log viewer but in a different section (warning as opposed to Notice).
However, it could be by design if you are doing a manual update do you need to be told it was done.

Hi DavidR,

Yes

Good point ... not really. I was just curious why a manual update wasn't added to the Event Viewer Antivirus log like its automatic counterpart..
Thanks and regards,
