Of the users that received the update, most encountered no problems, some encountered minor issues, and some had significant problems. We are deeply sorry for releasing this update and the trouble it caused you. You may have heard that we released a virus database update early Thursday morning (or Wednesday night depending on the time zone). What was it?ĭecember 4th, 2009 Vincent Steckler Leave a comment Go to comments I have used Avast for years with no problem. Got everything working again however, but it was a nasty experience. I didn't miss out and it was ugly! Scared the bejeebers out of me. Luckily, I missed out on the Avast screw up a few days ago.

In this test, 40 percent of the commercial keyloggers were found. The suite's real-time protection found 83 percent of malware and blocked the majority of them. The suite detected half of the editor's scareware samples. Those results were average, according to the editor. Some full scans took over an hour on infected systems however, a scan on a clean system took 35 minutes.ĭuring an on-demand scan, MSE beta found 89 percent of malware samples but only 30 percent of commercial keyloggers. Installation succeeded on 12 malware-infected systems. The editor also noted the fact MSE sets Windows Update into its fully automatic mode, which automatically downloads and installs updates although it can then be turned off again through the control panel. On the downside, the full installation occupied about 110 MB of disk space, and the initial update took 5 to 15 minutes. PC Magazine cited MSE's small installation package (about 7 MB, depending on the operating system) and its speedy installation.
