Every now and then Avast will send 17 download prompts one after another (I counted them this time and saved each one after the 4th prompt). I "cancel" each one because I've found that
if I choose to "connect" on a prompt my computer slows down drastically and will usually eventually end up freezing up and I have to reboot at least once to get back to normal.
I asked this question about 3 months ago but did not get any explanation.
Can anyone PLEASE explain what the NEW download prompts are?I have done the following:
1. I only connect to the Internet using a Dial-up is CHECKED (always had this setting this way)
2. I have turned OFF ALL "Cloud Services". (suggested to me back then)
3. Turned OFF "Community Features". (suggested to me back then)
4. I have left ON the top"Community" option called "Participate in the Avast! community".
Should I TURN THIS OFF AS WELL? (#4 above)
I have attached the prompts once again (prompt 4-17). As we can see each of the 17 prompts will be for me to "connect" for "Avast.###download.com" where the "###" will be a different 3 digit number each time.Questions:
1. Why all the prompts (which I have to "cancel" to avoid problems)?
2. What can I do to avoid these prompts?
