Definitions Size?
« on: October 26, 2011, 08:46:56 PM »
I'm using Avast 4.8 Pro and would like to find out how much space the virus definitions are using. Where are these stored in XP?

Update your avast! to version 6.
I (I guess as well as many others) don't remember the 4.8 settings anymore. ;)

I guess it was located in c:\Program Files\Alwil Software\avast4\Setup and there should be some files with the name containing the latest VPS number version ;) ::)

But, why don't you update to the latest v6, like Asyn suggested :)
