Jim,
I already suspected that what you say first is true, but because the new
version is different, I simply felt insecure about it. From seeing Teddy
Bear's post, I see I'm not the only one. But I know you're correct, now that
I've had it installed for a couple of days.
As for the second part, I'm not sure what you're saying. After the
completion of a scan with my old version 7.5, I used to skim through the
report using my Jaws cursor to see how the scan had gone, and maybe I
stopped too soon in that list, but I don't recall ever seeing a line saying
that AVG had updated itself again, even though it may have updated
automatically only moments before I ran the scan. Do you see what it is that
I'm surprised by? Again, let me ask. Do you mean that, irrespective of the
daily auto update, AVG looks for an update as the last thing it does in a
scan sequence, just before finishing? Is that what you mean? Because that
was what I was asking, even if I didn't say it clearly enough.
thanks.

Yardbird there is absolutely nothing to worry about, this is correct
behavior for the new version of AVG. It now displays it's notifications in
the system tray. Since these are not standard balloon tool tips job access
with speech for windows unfortunately will not read them.
Rest assured, however, that your AVG is being updated on a consistent basis.
Also just because you are performing a scan does not necessarily mean the
AVG program will not update itself. This has always been true with this
program. I hope this has been helpful.

Subject: Jaws not reporting AVG daily update
Is this the way it's supposed to be? I know some people used to complain
about their work being interrupted when AVG V. 7.5 performed it's daily
update and hung up your work for a few seconds while reporting that it was
updating and then giving you the option to close the last dialogue before it
closed by itself. I never minded that too horribly, myself. Just sort of got
used to it.
But now I find myself a little uneasy, because it seems that in the
redesign, they fixed it so that when AVG does its daily update of the virus
database and whatever else, it doesn't display any notice of this at all.
This morning, just to be sure, I learned to check that information screen
that loads when the program launches, and found that it did say the update
had been done and everything was up to date. I suppose I'll find the same
thing tomorrow, if I look at that screen after the time for the update.
But is this just the way it works now, and I should just chill and not feel
obligated to check every day?
One more thing that struck me oddly. I ran my first scan with V. 8 a little
afterward, and in the report that came up when the scan was finished, among
the usual items about how many files were scanned and how many threats found
and what was done with them and that stuff, there was a line that said that
the last update had been at the time given for the completion of the scan.
I'm thinking "Huh? It ran another update just as it finished its scan?
Really? Why?"
Maybe I misunderstood what the wording means in that line? Or? Anybody know?
thanks.
