I
use Avast!
anti-virus (free basic version), and it can't be beat.
Except. Twice a day a popup window announces there are updates
available. In auto update, or manual mode another popup says "Downloading Updates. Then,
another Popup announces "Updates
Installed" Why am I saying all this? If you
use Avast! you know what I mean; if you don't, you left already.
Anyway, when it happened the second time today I flipped out. Either I
stop them, or I'm unloading Avast! and finding something else.
After
spending about 30 minutes reading Googled gripes with no solution, I
found it. It has to be new dammit, cause I spent an hour on this
before. Anyway, here it is.
Right click avast ... left click
... -->program
settings -->Update
(basic) --> Details
The
default update interval was 240 minutes. I changed it to 4320
minutes
(every third day). Tick silent running mode, and untick
everything
else (I did allow for reboot message). You're welcome.
