Title: Avast 5 silent mode?
Post by: a_vast on December 24, 2010, 03:48:33 AM: Hi

Am running version 5.0.677

As you can see I have selected silent mode:

Imagine my negative thoughts then when I got the update message loud and clear at 2.45 AM bet my neighbours just loved it :-|

Can anyone please tell me how to turn these voiced alerts off please?

Thanks

Many thanks :)

I disabled Avast sounds - hopefully I will still get a visual display if Avast needs to alert me to anything?

You will still get visual displays even if the sound is turned off, as long as Silent Mode is disabled.

It is at the bottom of the avastUI, Summary tab, see image.

Cannot find It. Maybe only in ENG version? ???

You may have to scroll down to see it as I did in my image.
