You are making a big deal out of nothing.
As long as the streaming updates are working, you're fully protected.
VPS updates only consolidate what you've gotten via streaming updates.
I also currently have 160318-2 and I feel perfectly safe. :)

On my W7 machines I had as last update '160317-2'. I tried to update manually via updatefunction:

Avast handle this all by itself, if there is a problem a error message will popup, there is no need to check avast GUI multiple times a day

That wasn't new to me, Pondus.

But who can start all machines together? So I guess, nobody will check it multiple times a day!!!

They're not stuck. It's a rolling 24 hour total, if the frequency of updates remains more or less constant then that number won't change much ... but you're still receiving them.

Looking at the Defs folder will show if streaming updates are coming in.  In Windows 7, "C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\defs" is the location.  I'm receiving regular streaming updates.  In a perfect world, the VPS should be available and served to all Avast users in a timely fashion.  Obviously, the servers aren't perfect. ::)

My VPS was on -160318-2 and just now I got 160319-1 (11:03 AM NZT). I don't know why BeSecure is making a big deal out of this. My streaming updates is also working fine
