Some features are online, so it's possible to "tinker" with them, some are hardcoded in the program, so it's not - it's as simple as that.

The beta version is available where this problem is fixed; since there are only bugfixes there and no new features, it's pretty safe to install it. But, since QA and users are reporting still some problems left (mostly from 7.0.1456), it's not officially released yet - it will be after those problems are fixed (or at least the more significant ones).

The answer then IS simple, STOP tinkering, start fixing or don't get paid

All failed staff should be put on warning to fix it within a certain time frame or lose their jobs - That is SIMPLE

Strange how they can tinker with the pop up and add useless bits to it like they did yesterday with reference to Chrome but they can't issue and fix and instead tell us to wait for the next release but can't tell you when.

Height of incompetence really
The next version is currently in beta testing and will be released as soon as it's ready.

Count me in as another two computers with the double updated message.  It happened awhile ago, disappeared, and came back a week or so ago.  One computer is Vista, one Win 7 both current on all updates.  Like others - not urgent but annoying.

The only way to fix it is to wait for the next release of avast! or, use the current beta.

Boy, the only reason I came here was to make sure I didn't have a problem with my installation or how avast was running on my computer.  With all I have to worry about and deal with, I am satisfied that this is simply a glitch that avast is aware of and will correct with the next release.  I would love to have the time to go all haywire because I have to listen to a message twice that takes all of 2 seconds.  But if I did, I think I would spend it doing something a little more meaningful.  Please get a life people.

The new program update 7.0.1466 released last night resolves this and a number of other issues.
