300K-DL on prog-Update, although avast IS uptodate ?
« on: September 22, 2003, 10:19:29 PM »
Hi,

I clicked prog-update on my avast 4.1.268 with VPS 0309-2
and it started a 300 KB download



and it changed avast.setup (detected by Kerio 2.1.5 on Win2000-SP4, all critical patches)

Afterwards, avast tells me:
- Programm already uptodate (as I knew it to be)

this happened quite some times now with 4.1.268

Why so ?

(Logged in admin-user, not "Administrator"; usual avast installation, no tweaks or so:

extension-list is scanned on open, write/create and prohibited formatting)

 ??? ???

Hi,

does it happen every time you try a program update?

I so, can you please send me:

setup.ini
setup.log
a directory listing of a directory (dir *.* >setup.lst)

All of this should be in avast4\setup directory.

Thanks,

i experienced this once...knowing my program and virus definitions are most updated.....i still tried to update again by right-clicking on the avast icon..."updating-program update"....surprising there's something to download...after downloading the 300k....the report shows that everything is already up to date....strange...

 ??? ???

but it only hapeens once...now everything is fine and normal
 ;D ;D

Just a small thing I noticed. It's not 300KB, it's 300 bytes.

Hi Amerk, if you check my 1st post, you'll see that it was 300 KB = 300000 Bytes indeed

Hi Kubecj,

seems fixed; files are on their way 2u
