Stuck on update 131027-0

Reading these posts about people hammering the update servers for apparently no good reason (posting about being "stuck" on defs update from Oct 27 on Oct 28 03:01:18, oh noes!), I'd hazard to say it'd be beneficial to eliminate the defs versions from the GUI altogether. They make very little sense with the streaming updates anyway.

Your avast defs are getting updates many times every hour, people! Just browse to the defs folder to see for yourself. Just chill and stop babysitting the thing when there's no need!

OK - sorry - but I was concerned because I had not had any popups regarding database updates for a couple of days.

I have now looked at the defs folder and can see that I did not get any updates until about 4 hours ago. They are now being downloaded every few minutes.

Still no popups though - is this a different issue?

My knowledge of computers are very limited, where will I find the Defs Folder? I've looked everywhere I can think of, my PC still trying to update the latest version and has been for 4 days

Thanks Tech and Hillybop, I can see that I'm still haveing updates, but looks like I'll have to put up with that damn popup "your latest virus update has not updated 9.0.1500"

Why don't you save your settings and then try an installation from scratch?
