How to get rid off the question-mark in the tray Icon when having the settings to "check for updates automatically, and tell, as soon as an update is ready for download, but don't donwload it automatically" (for both program and vdb) telling that the system is not fully protected? As EVERY data-transfer on that PC has to be manually allowed, automatic update is not possible (and there is NO WAY to allow immediate automatic updates of anything - MS, Avast or what else!). But to always show that question-mark is an insult to the admin that always keeps all the systems up-to-date!

So how to get rid off that question-mark WITHOUT TURNING AUTOUPDATE ON (but keeping being informed - of course)?

BTW: taking the question-mark away as soon as vdb is up-to-date and showing it again as soon as a new update is detected (and until the update is then really installed) would be a nice solution!

PS: as using german version, dialogs may vary.
