the old bug is back (updates) [BUILD 5.0.393]
« on: January 27, 2010, 02:59:19 PM »
LOL I haven't seen that happen for a while, last time it happened was on an old beta, the UI showing an outdated Avast when it's actually updated already. Rebooting changes nothing this time  ;D I upgraded directly from 377 to 393 with the installer.

Just a minor note.  Since this is a prerelease anyway, Alwil should get it fixed in the release.

You said rebooting changes nothing?
What does the file <avast>\defs\aswdefs.ini say?
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

Mine says
latest=10012601

Folder 10012700 is there but not pointed to with latest
Manually changed to latest=10012700 but didn't do anything so changed it back.  Needs a reboot?  Or a clean install seems to work for others, but they haven't gone through another update yet.

@ Vlk: I just uninstalled "free" (as mentioned in another thread here, got it back after a system image restore yesterday) to reinstall AIS 5.0.393. So the bad news is I can't answer your question anymore obviously, but the good news is that I have the current update appearing normally in the GUI. Doesn't mean much, gotta wait for the next update to tell how it behaves...OK. But I guess an install from scratch instead of an upgrade should fix the issue in most cases.
 off topic: firefwall seems to behave much better now, with rules created automatically when config on "auto-decide". I'll mention this in another thread I started about the FW.

Mine says this too.
Bug confirmed here. I updated (no clean install) and rebooted. Otherwise, 5.0.393 is working fine.

I should mention that I uninstalled Avast! version 377 the normal way, than used the new aswClear.exe in safe mode, after witch I installed Avast! 393 the normal way.

Off topic : sded and me think that after installation a reboot is needed for things to work properly, although Avast! doesn't ask for it.

I installed Pro over Free.  The installer removed Free, then installed Pro, but didn't ask for a reboot then.  At least the Sandbox was inactive until I did a reboot manually.

not the same behavior here, installed IS over free, that just uninstalled "free", prompted for a reboot and that was it as expected. I had to launch the IS setup again after that. Too many differences between "free" and IS I suppose to avoid a first reboot.

Should have clarified, I installed Pro-same behavior as you saw removing Free, booting, restarting the install myself.,  But no reboot requested after Pro install, no sandbox until I did one.  I'll send Alwil the file.
