Oops
Then I think that you have to expect some niggles like this when trying to implement avast style updates and info into the AVG beta. But it is certainly right to report it.
Especially when they are working on the unification of the definitions.
What i as thinking is that this period of not receiving new definitions only streaming ones was because of a "good work behind the scene".
My second point is still valid I think, that number is meaningless (even when displayed) other than our database is bigger than yours database.
It really depends on how generic and complex the definitions are. Norton has around 25 million and Comodo some millions more, but you can't really say that the signatures are Comodo's strength.
However i would like to see what will be the change after the integration of the AVG's definitions and now i don't know if this has happened or not.
