Smirnoff

The title says it all.

Decided not to wait to be automatically notified of version 5.5.1006 so went straight to the download site. Was told I was downloading 5.5.1006 but when I installed, programme says it is 5.5.1012.

No release notes regarding difference between the two.

My definition update shows 8650
Version 5.0.1148

Says definitions were updated 3 days ago yet when I check for updates I am told they are up to date (after 3 days?)

I don't want to make too much of a fuss because I'm using the free version (5.0.1144), although I wouldn't be so restrained if I was using the paid for version.

The last definition update available is 8260. This was released on 17/02/12 (Friday). Have just checked for updates on 21/02/12 (Tuesday) and nothing new available.

This seems to be a regular pattern.

Three days without updates is not really goog enough.

Unfortunately, the idiots who produce malware do not have weekends off!

What's changed from version 5.0.1136 to 5.0.1142?

Release notes on the download page only show changes made when 5.0.1136 was released.

I have noticed that since the upgrade to version 5+, definition updates do not seem to be issued on weekends.

Please note that this is an observation, not a complaint, especially as I use the free version.

I figure that people are entitled to weekends off.

Not too sure if I would feel the same if I had the paid-for version though and don't know if the same thing applies.

It seems to me that the sad idiots who get a kick out of messing up people's computers are most active at weekends when more people are online.

Thinking back, I am sure I remember receiving definition updates at weekends when I had version 4+. Is there a specific reason for this change of policy?
