I have been paying attention to the update-page in avast settings to check how often avast is updated with new virus definition and streaming updates.
I may be wrong, but it seems like there is nothing going on from 24 to 08 my time...(im in norway so I think its pretty much the same timezone as czech republic..)
so my question is, do you have employes doing the updates 24/7 ?
-
The problem seems to be with the servers, which should be working 24/7, but have not been working properly since this new version was introduced. Apparently, the new version is taxing the servers beyond what the previous version did, and that's causing a lot of problems, both with updates, and with user accounts.

skay_baltimore: again, wrong answer.
fnukyguy: no, the streaming updates are currently only sent during extended working hours (around 12/7).
Thanks

Vlk, what about the automated signature generator that was mentioned some time ago? Unless i heard it wrong, something was in the works. But i could be wrong...

Everything is done automatically.
We just don't have the balls to keep it running overnight (mainly because of possible FP's).
But we're getting there...

The wording of this gave me a good laugh. How funny.
-
Hm, i thought about that. There is always a risk of getting FP and then no one will be around for several hours to verify and correct it.
Makes sense.

So despite post after post saying that the servers are the problem, you're saying the servers are not having any problems?

You really are getting things wrong, as Vlk has said. There are currently over 200 update servers (constantly changing); there are many different types of server and the one area my.avast.com (with connection problems) is a completely different issue and separated from the update servers, be that streaming updates or regular auto updates.

The Avast Account servers are indeed having problems (I mean, the Account app is having problems).
But it has no effect on the updating servers (these are different parts of the infrastructure).

I'm really not sure how this type of post is constructive in the least. And frankly, I find it patently rude.

So I got it wrong. The fact is, there have been so many server-related problems (yes, with the update servers as well), it's hard to keep everything straight.

Frankly speaking we dont need you trolling others problems just to put your two bits worth in when your not here to offer help or seek resolve to your own if any issues, your just plain annoying ::)

Yet another very rude post. I'm not sure if you're aware of it or not, but lots of folks come here and see what's going on on this board. And if you think it puts Avast in a good light, you're mistaken. It's clear that your definition of trolling is a willingness to discuss real issues that tend to publicize issues Avast would rather not have publicized. Oh well. That's just too bad. The issues are real. And they deserve to be talked about, rather than swept under the carpet.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to your opinion.

Thats a fact.

In your opinion. But I'm not going to quibble with you. That would only take the thread O/T.

Well said miscreant.
In addition to troll, add topic hijacking, vendetta, disruptive, and counterproductive to the list.

I think the original question was properly answered way back near the beginning of this topic, and the rest following that is irrelevant. Please lock thread, whoever.
