I tried to disable 'Software Updater' using add/remove program and uncheck the Software Updater in the Avast Component Selection Menu.
After I rebooted, the 'Software Updater' disappeared from my Avast Interface.
However, somehow my computer is still trying to download the programs updates that were being downloaded by 'Software Updater'. I noticed this when my internet became slower for browsing and I saw that there was an incoming traffic from the internet (ie. I was downloading something that I didn't know). I checked my other programs and none were downloading anything from the internet.
When I opened the 'Web Shield' on the Avast Interface, the last web pages scanned were from Apple (for iTunes+Quicktime), Macromedia (for Adobe Flash) and the other programs. And the 'Web Shield' kept updating scanned pages from those websites
Does anyone experience the same problem? If anyone knows the solution for this, please let me know, I will really appreciate any solutions.
My internet connection is rather slow so now it becomes really difficult for browsing.
