Hello, please do welcome Avast version 19.7
(19.7.2388)

What's exciting here that we have officially launched the new Antivirus portfolio, effectively sun-setting Pro, Internet Security, and Premier while replacing it with Premium Security. In a nutshell, this means that from now on, all paid AV features are available to all AV customers (yey!) and there are no more paid AV tiers. And we have this in Single and Multi-Device flavors. Multi-Device subscription is supporting platforms: Win, Mac OS, iOS and Android.

I updated all three of my computers to Premium Security earlier in the week (from the update message in the Avast update screen). All three updated successfully without any problems.

However since then all three computers are randomly getting a pop up alert from Avast saying that Avast Premium is updating the security settings (2 - 3 times a day) and about 25% of the time saying Avast needs to restart the computer...

I've checked the Avast 'About' screen when this happens and sometimes it's saying it's Avast Internet Security, and other times it says it's Avast Premium Security.

I'm running Windows 10 64 bit, and paid for Subscription.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Whilst it is called an off-line installer, that can depend on your OS as there are different elements that may require an on-line connection.  Even if using the so called off-line installation file.

If you're talking to me, I have seen that start to happen with Windows Vista at some point, failing the install.  I have not had any issue with other Windows versions, including my current Windows 10 Pro.  I'm talking about disabling my Ethernet hardware device via Device Manager.  This gives the red "x" on the Network Notification Area icon indicating no Internet access.  Such disabling also "sticks" over reboots; the device has to be explicitly enabled to get Internet access back.  So, I think my question about whether the off-line installers are being handled when there are "minor" updates to a version still stands.

I was as my post was directly below yours, if it wasn't I would quote the text I was referring to.

Ordinarily the off-line contains all you would need, but XP/Vista lack a function in later OSes and Avast would have to pack two separate modules to carer for that and they are big.  During installation, it goes on-line and downloads that function/module, it can't do that if you aren't on-line.

I don't know why you would use the off-line installer for a 'minor' update to a program version when you could simply use the in program update function.   Not sure what you would consider a 'minor' update to a program version. Also if that minor update relates to an Avast installation on XP/Vista then this is highly unlikely given it has reached end of support.

OK, thanks for the precision.

[Pako7]

The we all need to wait for the official release .... Because changes are only on the Beta Channel not the Official Release
