Zone Alarm Program Control Settings Entry Detail After Update To 4.8.1195

Yes, but are our assumptions correct about the policy change, in that the avast.setup no longer gets removed after it has done the update, it will remain a permanent file in the setup folder (not being created from the setup.ovr file each time) ?

Well, sort of, we're not deleting it anymore. But it can still get overwritten at any time (that's up to the updater to decide).

This is a part of the many "optimizations" made in the 4.8 version of the updater (especially for the automatic/background updates). We try to do only the bare minimum, to minimize the CPU cycles (and disk reads/writes) needed to perform the background update.

Thanks for the update vlk, although I did send you an email about this, and I wondered if you did receive it?
