Shutting down Avast?

[Thelenius]

How can I shut down Avast completely? If I use the "Stop On-Access Protection and Exit" menu item on the systray icon, the program still searches for updates. This upsets some games. Avast doesn't even show in the ctrl-alt-del list, there's no way of knowing whether it's on or not!

Also, every time I use that Exit command, during the next start-up of the computer Windows does some updating (I can't translate the message from Finnish). How to avoid this?

jaahas..mitäs se sanoo suomeks?

and..you can shutdown that avast if you use taskmanager..then play some games and it wont interfere your games..

If you're running Windows NT/2000/XP, you can use the Services applet in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools.

Stoping the 'avast antivirus' service will efectively disable all avast functional components.

Öh... Asennus päivittää kokoonpanotiedostoja, tai jotain.

I'm not sure what taskmanager is (damn this Finnish Windows), but if you mean the one accessed by ctrl-alt-del, no, Avast never shows up in the list. Except perhaps when the actual program is running, not the On-access scanner.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I have Win 98.

then just find all avast files what are currenty running...and disable those

perhaps you should really update your wintoosa 98 to XP or 2000
