slowness of avast 7.0.1456

[selen]

yesterday I have updated avast to version 7.0.1456. This morning when I started my computer I noticed that avast popup, which notifies that the virus definitions have been updated, has taken a lot of time to appear. Before the update to version 1456 the green popup took only 1-2 minutes to show up. Why this slowness?

Maybe the update happened later than usual? I don't quite see an issue...

I don't know...I have only noticed this slowness in updating the latest VPS, it has never happened before, so I thought it could be a link between this slowness and the new version 1456

But how do you know the update was slow? I mean, maybe the update wasn't yet available when you booted the system, and became available only after a while?

BTW you can check the setup log (the file C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\setup\setup.log) for details...

Simply because I have booted my system at 1.30 PM and after about 5 minutes the green popup appeared. Then I looked into avast menu "update" and I saw that the last VPS update, number 120704-0, has been released at 12.35, so one hour before. Normally when I boot my computer and avast find a new update avaliable shows me the green popup and it takes about one minute to appear. Usually it is very fast.
I can't find the file setup. log in avast/setup, I see only the files Setup and Setup.ovr. Anyway, how can this file setup.log help me to clarify my doubt?  What does it for?

Updating correctly on my test computer win xp sp3. We need to know what operating system that you are using? & Have u tested the computer with a good anti spyware scanner & have u Defragged your hard drive?

I have windows xp. On my computer all works good, I have no problems. I have scanned my system with malwarebytes, just to be sure. There are no virus or malware. I have simply noticed this issue with avast since yesterday, when I have updated to the new version 7.0.1456. All was working perfectly with the previous 1451 version. Can you explain me what  this setup.log file, which Vlk has mentioned, is? If I go to Progrm files/alwil software/avast5/setup I can't find this file! I have two files called Setup and one file called Setup.ovr, but there is no file called Setup.log...
