Frequency of signature updates?
« on: March 19, 2006, 07:26:47 PM »
How regular are signature updates usually? Daily mostly I hope? Or do none appear at weekends?

This page will give you an overview of how often it is updated: http://www.avast.com/eng/vps_history.html

Here is describe what the VPS version number means: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=3878.0

It's only updated when needed, there is no placebo updates, even less dialy, if it's not necessary.
Generally, three or four times a week. Sometimes, it could be three at a day  :)

Thanks for the links. It is what I suspected, no weekend updates, just on weekdays. Handy to know.

No, it's not true... Can be and in fact there were a lot of weekends updates when needed (new virus in the wild, etc.).  :)
