manual update (Avast free) / latest upd. received wrong info
« on: February 10, 2015, 01:23:54 PM »
Hi all

In Avast (Free) program i set manually update the program and virus database. Updating the database takes place correctly, but an indication of the latest date and time when the update action taken is wrong. You can look at it please? Is this a problem with the date and time of manually updating or doing something wrong?

I attach a preview as it looks at me


Thanks for the info

Default settings auto update the Virus Database and Need a manual update of the program itself.
Your screenshot shows auto update of the virus database. Feb 8, 2015.
Since you don't show the details of the settings, there isn't any way for us to see what they are.

Screenshot would help.

Strange since my release and update date for the VPS are the same.

Since you're on manual update, it's telling you the latest available update and the last time you did a manual update.
In other words, you need to do another manual update to make your VPS match the current available VPS.

Thanks bob

I understand. But i do not understand that we two have the same version of VPS (150210-0) but i have a different date. Since the virus database was released 2/10/2015 and i clicked to manual update 02/10/2015 Why there I have written 02/08/2015. When I clicked on the update today, so there should be today's date and should not be different whether i use automatic or manual update

To me it looks as though you still need to update. It indicates that the update is available but it has not yest been downloaded and applied.

That's also what I think.

Also, doesn't setting VPS updates to manual also disable the streaming updates?

Hi guys

Thanks for your patience and support but, I do not need nothing to update. Everything is updated, it is me on the wrong date and time. I attach all thumbnail to understand me.

Look at this  :-\
