After the manual update I read this:
Information about current update:
Total time: 11 s
Server: download76.avast.com (75.126.38.78)
Downloaded files: 3 (0,03 KB)
Download time: 7 s

but nothing has been really updated!!! I still have the 0643-5 def, Why?

A few grey hairs and a slight heart attack but that's all I suffered ;)

Downloaded VPS 0643-6 - no problems anymore - well done :)

*goes searching for grey hairs*

Nothing happens. The manual update never worked! May be there's a bug with avast manual update and the limited account?

It should work OK with non-admin account...
Maybe your ISP caches the file.

Anyway, you can download "manually" by downloading and executing vpsupd.exe

I tried the manual update many times in different days but it never worked using the limited account! never! So I'm pretty sure there's a bug.
Automatic update works fine with the limited account but manual update doesn't work
I discovered this: with admin account, when you click for manual update,  the setup and def installation starts (I see 2 new windows), instead with the limited account the 2 windows are not started and you only see the final log but no files are downloaded/installed/updated!!!

Well aswUpdSv.exe on mine as system so I assume that it would be the same for you. There was some time ago something about Vista not allowing updates from the ashDisp.exe as that is a user account and subject to the UAC restrictions in Vista. The option is to run the Simple User Interface and click the Update Virus Database. Try that and see if that works.

So there's an huge bug in avast because with a limited account the setup/installation of new definitions don't appear!!!

Calm down... there aren't such bugs.
Maybe your computer has problems. Manual and automatic updates are working here on a non-admin account on XP SP2+.
Please, post the log contents...
