but the behaviour of the application is now the same as it has been for the last few years. Download the virus definitions file to easily always keep versions 10 and older of the popular Avi. so maybe the wording of the message is incorrect. but I clicked the 'Check for updates' button (for the Virus Definitions) and again it shows the 'release time' for the updates was the most recent time I clicked the 'Check for updates' button. Getting back into the GUI for the application, it showed the Definitions were Ok. I also checked the 'defs' directory and there were only a couple of 'today's date'-directories in there, instead of the 100+ directories that were there previously. I did nothing more than rebooting the computer 2 more times and upon restarting, THIS time the tooltip on the system tray icon showed 'You are protected'.

Running the installer this time led to a 'successful installation' and after rebooting the computer, the system tray icon still reported 'Your are unprotected!'. After a couple of iterations, I had eventually freed-up disk space to be ~5GB. The installer failed, recommending that 2GB free space was needed. I downloaded the new version and tried running it (instead of using the 'Check for Updates' button inside the application, which always appeared to do nothing). I'm running the application under Windows 8.1. Tick this option to enable automatic actions. Avast antivirus provides a shell script which checks for, downloads and installs the latest VPS. Scroll down to Perform automatic actions during this scan. Download the latest avast version and save it. Click Settings (the gear icon) on the right side of the screen. The Avast icon in the System Tray shows 'You are unprotected' when the mouse pointer is floated over it. To specify how Boot-Time Scan responds to detected threats: Open Avast Antivirus, then select Protection Virus Scans.

Note that the 'Virus Definitions' release date always changes to the time the update was attempted. In my case, the 'Virus Definitions' are described as:.

>as all of those streaming updates would be included in the latest VPS version. In Avast 9 the folder structure is very different. To be 100 clear, this does not mean in any way that BrightVPN is malicious or harmful to your computer In fact, BrightVPN is compliant with all of Avasts. >The stream updates should be cleared when (or shortly after) the next VPS update is received Another question, in version 8 I had excluded '/Library/Application Support/Avast/files' from Time Machine backups so that I wouldn't wasting storage on hundreds of MB in outdated virus definitions. >But what is not happening is the housekeeping to prune/remove the old streaming and they seem to have names that are only in 'October' (2010nnnn). The defs directory contains a total of 111 directories, 79 of which are. I am having the same problem, of virus definitions being out-of-date and nothing being changed when the 'Update Now' button is pressed.
