Was looking for a progress bar as the virus database downloaded, but couldn't locate one.
There is no progress bar when Avast's Virus Database uploads because it only takes about 2+ seconds. (7 seconds for me)
All I could see was my ZAPro firewall indicating that the downloader was accessing the internet.
If its blocking it, you need to allow it and keep the changes saved, Avast uses the internet to download the virus database.
Is there any indication of download progress?
Your cursor might look like its doing something for about seven seconds and after it downloads, Avast! gives you a notice that the virus database has been updated.
Am so far happy with my new Avast anti-virus.
I'm glad you choosed Avast!
