Disable update notifications?
« on: October 17, 2004, 09:43:11 PM »
Is it possible to disable the blue (successful) and red (unsuccessful) pop-up notifications when Avast updates?  I have a laptop which is usually connected (so I have the always connected flag set) but when I am occasionally disconnected I don't want the red flag to come up and tell me.  I've tried to set the Running Mode as "silent" but this doesn't appear to do anything - should it?

Go to 'Settings' on my signature.
You will find the value for avast4.ini file to suppress both blue and red notifications  ;)

Great little app - did what I needed it to and more.  Thanks.

Technical, I couldn't find the relevant entry in the avast4.ini file

It's not so difficult...  :(

Section [AAVM]

SuppressUpdateErrorInfo=1
Suppress update error message (not the update itself) = 1; Show it = 0

SuppressUpdatedInfo=1
Suppress the small blue info window in the notification area of your desktop on updating; Show it = 0


Like I said there, you must add the line if it does not exist.

Sorry Technical, for some reason when I first looked at the page, IE didn't load the whole page so I couldn't see this AAVM section.  All is clear now.
