Beats me DavidR....It's going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow morning. I am located in the Land of Oz, and have two computers in different rooms.... both units have the same problem.... the "About Avast" thingy does NOT update automatically.... but will show the updated data on a computer restart.
Surely it can't be a "location" problem, ie, Australia. I would be interested to hear from any other Aussie who may be online.....\\
