VPS: 0418-1

[aa.avast]

I've downloaded this update today, but on opening Avast to scan, 0418-0 is *still* showing.   I've tried rebooting but it still shows 0418-0.

[aa.avast]

Anybody else getting same issue or able to help?
Thanks

home edition showing the latest too

In that case, can anyone from Alwil Support please advise.  Do I need to do a re-install perhaps?

What happens when you invoke the update once more?

Tried that a few times, update window advises 0418-1 is downloaded but on opening avast to scan it still shows 0418-0.   This is the first time ever I've had this issue.  

In case it's relevant I have installed the latest beta version of Spybot (1.3 rc4) in the last few days. Could that possibly be the culprit?

No I haven't. If you think I should try that, can you please talk me through how I do a manual update. Thanks.

Yes, but no change.

try a manual update from here

If you select "Virus Database" from the main menu - can you find e.g. Beagle-Y in there?
(Just to find out if the database is not updated, or if only the version display is wrong).

Yes, here's exactly what's in there...
Win32:Beagle-Y [Wrm]
Win32:Beagle-Y- Unp [Wrm]

Hmm, there should be 4 items, in the latest VPS.
Can you try the "manual" update, as shgoh suggested?
