Okay, I KNOW I am NOT imagining this. Well, on the first occurrences I thought maybe I was. But, after yesterday evening I'm quite sure I am not.
For a period of time now, I'm quite certain that I have seen the download of some Virus Definitions Updates take place TWICE. No, I'm not talking about the audio indication of a Virus Definitions Update being played twice.
For example, this is what I'm talking about.
Yesterday afternoon, I'm quite certain I saw the 120905-1 Virus Definitions Update take place, which took any eternity as it was. Then later on in the evening, my computer again gets that sluggish feeling and the Hard Drive LED is virtually ON constantly. So, I eventually deduced, "Okay, avast is downloading another Virus Definitions Update. I'd better just wait and let it do its thing." After another eternity, finally the Green Popup floats up and lo & behold, it was the SAME 120905-1 Virus Definitions Update to which I had also seen a Green Popup earlier.
Like I said, I'm pretty sure I've seen this happen on other occasions as well. What the heck is going on?
Is this possible? Has anyone else encountered this?
