Hi, well, I had an interesting day. Many phone calls to/from my customers re the bad update (I do tech support for a living). One pharmacy saw their network grind to a complete halt after the update chewed on their medical database software... fortunately they are back up and running, but Avast is gone from that business.
I digress. When I saw 091203-1 was out, I ran the iAVS update on my machine (Vista Ultimate, 64-bit). It tried to send a big file back to Alwil (1.6MB or so) which failed. So I ran the iAVS update again a while later, and the following is now happening:
- The "Update iAVS" option reports "Vps: Already up to date (current version 091203-1)".
- But "About avast!..." option is still reporting 091203-0.
- Manual scan does not detect the false positives any more.
- But programs are being blocked as being Delf-MZG signatures during boot sequence and cannot be manually started.
I have also tried downloading the 091203-1 update from the website and running it myself, but it simply reports the definitions are already up to date.
