how to disable notification of virus database updates?
« on: June 06, 2009, 12:42:22 AM »
Hi all -
I can't seem to find the setting that will allow Avast to update the virus database without notifying me each time and forcing me to click through the little window that appears. I already have the "update" in program settings set to "Automatic", but can anyone point me to how to get this to happen less obtrusively?

thanks very much,
Chris

You don't have to click the little window if you left the avast settings on the default it updates automatically and the little pop-up notifies you that an update has occurred. So you don't have to click it after a few seconds it disappears.

Ah! I somehow missed that "sliding box" setting. Thanks, Tarq!

That blue popup dissapears by itself after few seconds. No need to click it.
