When I check in system - automatic updates it tells me its set to do it automatically at 20:00 each day.
I'm not sure avast automatic updates is set though - it shows me an exclamation mark in an amber circle where it says virus definitions version - the number is 130101-0 and it has a tab saying update. It also tells me its not connected with any avast account. I'm not sure are these problems, its just I'm looking at things in more detail now.
