but the behaviour of the application is now the same as it has been for the last few years. 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'.

root yum install avast root yum install avast-fss root yum install avast-rest Installation of virus definitions The current virus definitions database (VPS) is downloaded during the installation of the avast package, so the installation may take some time. Running the installer this time led to a 'successful installation' and after rebooting the computer, the system tray icon still reported 'Your are unprotected!'. Install the avast package and optionally the avast-fss, avast-rest packages. 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. The Avast icon in the System Tray shows 'You are unprotected' when the mouse pointer is floated over it.

Note that the 'Virus Definitions' release date always changes to the time the update was attempted. Right-click the Avast icon in the notification area of your Windows taskbar, and select Open Avast user interface. In my case, the 'Virus Definitions' are described as:- Program version Virus definitions version Number of definitions UI version For more information about Avast Antivirus updates, refer to the Avast webpage below: Virus Update History Check protection status. >as all of those streaming updates would be included in the latest VPS version.

>The stream updates should be cleared when (or shortly after) the next VPS update is received >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.
