Ok, thanks Vlk, that shows the scheduled tasks, which is great.
Yesterday you said I didn't need to schedule updates, as Avast checks every 4 hours anyway. But I don't see any entries in the logfile for these updates. Can I find that info anywhere?
Yes you can: C:\Program files\...\Avast4\Data\Setup.log
You will see something like this:
