My mom's computer (XP SP3) keeps getting an alert when automatic updates fails even though "Show notification if an error occurs" is disabled. We have dial-up so errors occur occasionally though not frequently, but she freaks out every time she sees that alerter.
She has Avast Free 7.0.1466, but it's been doing it a long time now even after one or two clean installs of different versions. I checked the Avast5.ini file and it seems to be working right, i.e., if I change the setting in the interface, the .ini file changes accordingly and vice versa.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and what can be done about it? Thanks!
