And even in this situation avast is automatically updating?

How about blocking avast.setup in your firewall (it is obviously allowed currently), that should give it a knee in the groin. I know it isn't perfect but it should work, I have no idea why when you set both iAVS virus signatures and Program updates to Manual you are still getting updates.

I will try that on my dial-up and see if it continues to check and download.

Do you have anything set in the Update (Connections) Proxy button area ?

Update:

I have had my updates set to manual

I'm on avast Home, dial-up connection, with winXP Pro and the set to manual appears to be working for me or rather it isn't checking for updates and the last update I have is (080505-0) from before I set things to manual. Since the latest is 080506-0 then it didn't check for nor download that VPS. And nothing in the setup log to indicate that it has even attempted a connection to check for updates. See images 1 & 2 none of which show any activity later than my post yesterday.

On dial-up it should effectively check for updates each time you connect if you have the VPS update settings set to Auto.

So I'm at a loss as to what is happening on your system.
