I'm pretty sure that's not happening here, Tech.
I don't get the "failed update" red box. (Well, have once or twice, but seldom.)

The VPS updated to 080109-0 recently, with no slowdown, and no red/green arrows.
Yesterday it updated to (I think) 108, and there were red/green arrows, and a slowdown.

I'm of the same opinion as miscreant; I can certainly live with it. Just curious as to why some updates do this and others not.

Dang. Speak of the devil, it's just happened. No red/green arrows, just the red slide, and when clicked on, the error message pictured.

Please, post the last 200-250 lines of avast log: C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\log\Setup.log

There's a code in the updater that limits the CPU usage to 30% max. Doesn't it work in your case? I.e. when the update is taking place, does the updating process take more CPU than 30% or so? (or, if you're using a dual core machine, more than 15%)?

I uninstalled avast this evening (w2000 pro)and cleaned registry thouroughly etc.I then reinstalled avast ,and indeed the initial update of avast didnt go any higher than 29% (see screenshot).However updates after that initial first update reach up to 90% ,so something has altered after the initial update.

Seems ok... I see nothing wrong... strange, your avast seems updated.

Yep, it's updated. No problem, apart from (as said earlier) some updates are slow, and invoke the red/green arrows, and others are fast (Typically 7-20s) and don't invoke the red/green arrows.
Just want to know why.

Automatic updates run at silent mode.
Manual updates run with avast Update (Basic) > Details settings.
As far I know...

I forget whether we've been talking about Home or Pro here, and quite likely this is one more area where there's no difference between them.

But (in Home, at least) there is a setting, under Updates, as to whether you want silent or showing progress.  I imagine the latter is probably the default.

Let me make one thing clear: the CPU quota (30%) is only taking place for the automatic updates (i.e. these running on the background).
For user initiated updates, there's no restriction like this.

The rationale is that if the user invokes the update, we want to make it as fast as possible.
