Avast tries to connect to internet despite manual setting
« on: May 11, 2003, 10:29:51 PM »
2 days ago I installed Avast 4 Home edition, build 4.0.202. The program seems to work fine but ........................

Every time windows (Windows ME) is started Avast tries to connect to internet. (I have a dial-up connection. ) But I changed the update settings for both the virus data and the program to MANUAL, so I expected Avast not to connect to internet.

Does anyone recognize this problem and has a solution?

Greetings,
Rinse Bakker

I had the same thing happening too when set updates to manual::).  

The advice I got from the helpful people on this forum was:

1) Open ...program files\avast\data\avast4.ini by right clicking and open with notepad

2) Add the following 2 lines at the end:
     
     [InetWD]
     UseRAS=1

3) Then save and exit

4) Reboot

5) Problem solved

Greetings ramam, yes, it was me ;)
