Virus Definitions not updating ... Again!!!
« on: March 02, 2018, 12:21:02 PM »
Hello,

My Virus Definitions are not updating again.  Here it is March 2, 2018, and the last virus update was Feb 27, 2018.  I'm sure there have been updates since the 27th of Feb.  This all started with the program update of 13.4.  I'm using macOS Sierra 10.12.6.  Is there a place on the web site to download the definitions?  I'm using the free version of Avast.

Thanks,

Dennis

Unfortunately, you are right. We are struggling with virus definitions releases in last days. We are waiting for our ThreatLabs operators to fix the release process.

Fortunately, streaming updates are delivered without any problem. StreamingUpdates are small updates to the virus definitions that are released almost every 5 minutes. They contain new updates and fixes for FalsePositives.

Quality is also a feature.
