As far I'm informed you shouldn't receive a popup notification for streaming updates.

Connection is back now.. With streaming updates should i get a virus definition has been updated popup also?  If yes, than i only get 3 of the auto update popups a day.. not several but just like 3.

I don't think that we'll see popups for streaming updates, only the regular VPS updates.

Yes, also just got the first for 120226-3.  I had over 10 for 120226-2.

Hi,

the connection to the cloud on my two systems (WIN7-64 and WIN7-32) is very unstable today too. In one minute it is connected at the next it is disconnected for a long period. It connects and disconnects the hole day.

I hope it is only a server overload.

I have the same problem. Where is the problem - in Avast's server or in me?

I'm still the same, reinstall Avast and still will not connect, I think it's a problem with Avast servers.

From what I understand, the streaming cloud updates are instantaneous and have definitions that stop zero day malware BEFORE the Updated Virus Definitions Signatures "Virus DataBase has been updated." pop up and voice comes.

The pop up with the voice has all the cloud based definitions between the last cloud update and the last pop up.

The cloud is the emergency malware prevention system that always connects to the virus lab to stop threats that may start BEFORE the database has a chance to update with the definition signatures.

Therefore, lets say that it's 2PM and you got the "Virus Database Has Been Updated" message.  Under old Avast versions, if new malware was discovered and a cure was found by the virus lab, you would have to wait till 6PM to get the cure with the next definitions update.

If you have the cloud turned on and suddenly at 2:15PM there's new malware, they could probably get a definitions cure out by 2:30PM  and apply it around the world to all Avast 7 users much faster.  The Avast cloud in version 7, is like the 9-1-1 emergency for malware protection.  You will get everything in the traditional 4 hour slot or maybe later,  But with the cloud you should get it instantly to within minutes, not hours.

Someone can clarify what might be wrong here.  But this is as much as I know in understanding how the Cloud works.  The servers might be overloaded with so much information and with version 7 being so new, that it might take time to get the cloud features in sync with all Avast users.  The goal is for the cloud to communicate and release zero day malware protection up to 20 times a day.

Hello,

my question is: Is it normal, that in one minute the connection is established and in the next it is not established or does the system have to be permanently connected?

It may be normal, but it really comes down to the way you're connected to the Internet, whether your router doesn't close connections on which there hasn't been any activity in the last N minutes etc. Generally, avast should try to reconnect relatively soon after it sees the connection closed.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving's not for you.

BTW what does the "Last update received" field on the MAINTENANCE -> UPDATE page of the UI say? (the last line in the "Update engine and virus definitions" section).

Thanks

Hi Vlk,

the router is not the problem. I have a permanent DSl Line and no connection closed.

Today, for example, I start my PC, Avast says: Connection established, but ca. 45sekonds later I lost the connection.
At this moment I have no connection for ca 30 minutes. The first few days the connection was stable.

In this moment: Last update received: ----
PC is online since 17.00 clock

Do the cloud "reputation services" still work when "Connection not established" is showing ?

If not, could that cause timeouts and system slow downs when executing unknown files ?
