i'm using cable to connect to the internet... so if i checked the dialup option, what does it do for me???
Nothing if you are not on dial-up, RajZor was suggesting it as an option if you were experiencing problems, it could be you had selected the wron connection method.
and after i connect to the internet and i get the updated definitions, when is the earliest time it will update again?
Whenever one is released the automatic update will recognise it is available and will download it if you have selected to auto update.
Me I am on dial-up and I have mine set to dial-up connection and ask before update. So when I connect to the internet auto update checks for updates and tels me if one is available and ask if I want to install it now. Couldn't be simpler.
Can i tell it to update what time i want???
Yes but it wont really achieve anything as if one was available it would dbe downloaded automatically. Unless you are talking about a scheduled task to connect and update, if so I don't believe that is possible.
if i can't... do you know what file under c:\program files\alwil software\avast4 can i click to execute the update feature, becuase if i can do that, i can tell xp to excute that file at any time i want.... so i will be protected all the time..
No file, right click on the avast icon and hover over Updating and then select iAVS Update, but as I have said you shouldn't need it. You are protected at all times
updates are automatic[/i].
