mantra,

Avast will auto update both virus database and the program itself if you set it to do so.  Right click on the A ball in the tray, and start the AV.
Go to Settings, Update and set both DB and Progam to Auto.

The Ivas Push you are referring to is only in the Avast Pro version.
It is an update directly from Avast when a new virus is found that the Avast team wants users to have protection.  So they send it without you asking between Full virus database updates.  Think of it as an emergency notification.

OK?

 ;D

Well, actually at the moment I think that the iPush feature does not work.
But the main question here is:
Will it ever?

This feature working would certainly be one of the most impressive achievements in the av-market!

(I have the pro version.)

I think it works already - but for more info, we'd have to wait for kubecj...

Well, "works" does not necessarily mean "it was used yet".

Yes, just an english trouble. What I was trying to say is that I have not note this feature working anytime in my system...  ;D

Btw, if this feature is not implemented yet, why tell the user that it exists (help files, configuration options, differences between Home and Pro version, and so on...)  :-\

I would say "to be implemented" does not necessarily mean "to be implemented correctly", i.e. "work" :)

Really, we should wait if kubecj has something for us. I believe that this feature was implemented just as the other ones. The purpose is to handle critical situation - i.e. it's not supposed to be used very often. Later, it was found that it's not working as it was expected to - and needed a fix. I believe the problem has been found already (though I cannot say for sure), so that now it should be prepared to be used when needed.

It is implemented, it just has not been used from our side yet.

The main problem consists of setting up the mailing list for the Push - right now we have two mailing lists for various annoucements (from historical reasons) but we need to completely change this before Push will be used. I hope this will happen quite soon...

Ok, never mind. Let's wait, as Igor says The purpose is to handle critical situation - i.e. it's not supposed to be used very often.
Thanks, Pavel  ;)

Is it possible to start Avast update process with some kind of command line option?

The new iAVS update email announcements from Avast arrive very soon after the actual release, and my email system could start the update process automatically, if there was some updater program or command line option to use.
