SuppressUpdatedInfo=1
on section [AAVM] 
i think i'm confusing people. especially me. i forgot that there are actually 2 notifications for updates; 1) the small, blue pop-up near the task bar that can tell you if an update is available. that's no problem to deal with, as i use the auto-update setting for the virus database (so i don't see the pop-up). what i'm trying to disable is the larger window that confirms the update was installed that you have to click "OK" to close. i added the variable "SuppressUpdatedInfo=1" to the proper section of the ini a long time ago, but it didn't work. i don't think it's working now either, because if i manually update, via r-click avast tray icon, click ivas update, i still get the confirmation window. i assume that it will still pop-up after an auto-update as well. so, firstly, i just wanted to point out exactly which window i'm trying to hide and secondly, ask if "SuppressUpdatedInfo=1" affects the window i'm trying to hide.
thanks!
