"Normally, Avast updates every 6 min."

That is not true. I have been testing with AvastSvc.exe unblocked in the firewall, but no checking for updates for over an hour.

According to support, Avast Free updates automatically when a new version is available. Hence the permanent connection AvastSvc.exe makes.

Updates every 6 minutes refers to streaming updates. Not progam updates.
