VPS updates as far as protection goes, are simply consolidations of the streaming updates.
What's the big deal about how quickly you receive them
As long as you're on-line, you are constantly being updated via streaming updates.
Whilst I'm not overly concerned with the timely receipt of VPS updates, the whole point it that they should work and it isn't working. If it isn't working it needs fixed, regardless. Also don't lose sight of the fact in these same VPS updated, micro fixes and engine updates can also take place.
Worse for me is the fact that avast housekeeping seems you die also in my win10 system with the latest avast free release (not beta).
