Silent/Gaming mode FOR GOOD
« on: January 24, 2011, 11:06:31 PM »
Is there any way I can turn off virus database update messages?  The sound, I don't care about the pop-up.  I turn it on Silent/Gaming mode all the time but it turns itself off.  It drives me INSANE because I have my speakers on and LOUD almost 24/7 and to be woken up at 4am by a "YOUR VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED" warning is never fun, neither is having the outburst from my computer when I'm thoroughly enjoying some good music or when I have company over.  It's actually kind of funny how long I've been living with it haha.  ANYWAY, enough is enough, I never want to hear that shit again.  Hoping the only answer isn't switching AV because I love avast.

Look in: Settings - Sounds
You'll find what you need there. ;)

Well putting it into silent/gaming mode should last until you deselect it, so I don't know why that isn't working.

@DavidR it works until it doesn't... I don't know what the cause is but it seems several hours later it's de-selected and I never touch it.

@Asyn problem solved, thanks!
