Hello There!!

Using Avast's latest version. Product seems to be too generous to NOTIFY me everytime that "Definitions have been automatically updated" till I close the same using X.

Under settings or options couldn't find anything relevant. Is there a way to ensure a 'Silent' working of Automatic updates in the background & that too without causing a perturb?

Help....Bump.

Moved from another forum.I haven't tried changing the notification behavior but I would TRY the following:

>Open Avast
>SELECT the Summary SCREEN, Current Status
>In the section of that screen labeled "SILENT/GAMING MODE", click on Change Settings
>In the Settings panel, select Sounds (on left column)
>Under "Enable avast! sounds", uncheck the box for "Automatic update", and click OK

Does that do it? This'll disable the 'Sound' associated with "Automatic Updates", however the 'Notification' at the bottom right will still appear! The whole purpose of notification is to be notified that your virus definition DATABASE is being updated and providing you protection against the most recent viruses. So, I'm puzzled why anyone would want to suppress it.

Anyway, all I can suggest is that you experiment with some settings. For example, I would try:

>Open Avast
>Select the Summary screen, Current Status
>In the section of that screen labeled "SILENT/GAMING MODE", click on Change Settings
>In the Settings panel, select Status Bar (on left column)
>Under "COMPONENTS MONITORED", uncheck the box for "Definitions auto updates", and click OK
