Auto-Update Visual Indication?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Is there a way to get a visual indication (maybe the icon tray) that shows when Avast is checking or updating the virus definitions? Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi and welcome,

Definitions updates are fast enough and behind-the scenes smooth enough that normally all you’ll see (or need to see) is that advisory pop-up afterwards. Typically I’ll get the note while I’m in the middle of checking mail, usually the first thing I do when I come online.

And of course you can try a manual update anytime – if you’re already up to date, it’s typically only a couple of seconds and you’ll be told that.

Best,
Mike

I seem to have ‘lost’ my little pop-up box that advises of updates, and I haven’t altered anything. Any idea how I can get it back please?

Thanks C.
