The auto update doesn't seem to be working in 4.5 Pro
I currently have 4.5.495 and read in another thread that there is a newer version out. (4.5.497)
Updates are set to automatic and computer has been on since this morning.?????
Everything else is just fine.

I even tried rebooting the system and still can't get it to do auto update.
I know I can do it manually but, that's not the idea. :'(

Bob, this is actually by design.

Version 4.5 has been modified in the sense that program updates (unlike VPS updates) are distributed slower. Namely, during a period of one week (7 days).



This feature has been implemented to avoid congestion of our servers. Say update 4.1->4.5 will have almost 2 megs. With the current number of avast users we wouldn't be able to supply such a bandwidth in such a short time. Distributing the update evenly over a longer time period will help us mitigate the server load (and provide smoother update to everyone).

Of course, this does not apply to VPS updates that are delivered always on time (but are orders of magnitune smaller).


Hope this helps.

Please, Alwil, do not make the final release of 4.5 with these errors... Can you wait until they're fixed and keep it like beta until there?  ::)

Thanks much Vlk. That answers my question. This way I and also others aren't going to get flustered when they notice a newer version out there. :) :)

Are my posts invisible ?  ;D I don't see anyone answering those questions. The problem I mentioned up there (few providers keeps terminating after system reboot). I don't think it's up to my system settings. Everything is like it was before... After upgrading to 4.5 Beta, problems with providers started to show...

Greetz !

In Thunderbird, nothing happens well. I have to manually configurate it again.

worked for me..    I setup Tbird with the normal pop and smtp settings.. then went into The Mail Wizard and it worked

Sasha I can confirm that. Just tried Windows Update and got an error message that the Services for Distributed Link Tracking Client had been disabled.It's not something that I or another program did. :o :o
Also none of the special settings are retained.... notes on e-mail settings advanced settings etc. etc etc

Sorry Bob, I lost you there... what Services for Distributed Link Tracking Client had been disabled and where ? I don't have problems with Windows update... See here what problems I'm talking about:

quote from some other thread with this topic:
Quote
I have exactly the same problem as Negeltu... and what's even worse, it's not just Network shiled that's affected, but also P2P shield and Instant Messaging...   I started those providers prior to rebooting my system... every single time I log back on to Windows, providers are terminated, and only my STANDARD shield, Internet mail and Script Blocking are started and running...

Ah, yes... latest build here: Nov2004 (4.5.495)

Any idea on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard other people are having same problems... not all, but quite large number...

Cheers !
