Surely the issue here is that the VPS has not updated from the 161201-0 version. That is what I am seeing on my system; that seems to be what DavidR is seeing; that is what Eddy is reporting; that is Destiny26's report. It is a small sample but it suggests that an update is not happening automatically, nor if one triggers it manually. If so, that is a issue of general significance that Avast need to consider.
It may not matter as we are all probably protected by streaming but that is a separate question.
