Scanned Email message and Virus DB

[gelbaum]

Hi,

I love Avast! However I have a problem:

I set it up so incoming and outgoing emails have a message appended to them letting everyone know what AV I am using. However the message appended shows an outdated VPS file. I sent myself an email a few moments ago - attached the message:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Virus Database (VPS): 0403-16, 03/20/2004
Tested on: 3/26/2004 10:49:22 PM
avast! is copyright (c) 2000-2003 ALWIL Software.
 
However the actual VPS file is 0403-19 with a compilation date of 26-3-2004 (based on the About Avast screen).

Is the email scanner using the most updated VPS file?
Or is there a problem with my setup and the message is incorrect?

I feel uncomfortable sending emails that show I am using an AV database that is almost 1 week old...

This is a known bug that will be corrected in the next build (version) of avast!  
No security problem anyway, you are, in fact, using the last virus database available. You can 'edit' your note to not show this specific line but only the other ones
