Are you opening the avastUI on startup (by default it shouldn’t open) that would trigger the check for avast iNews and also populate the ad to maximize your protection in the Summary section of the UI.
I don’t know why you feel the need to set updates to manual as in doing so there should be no check for updates anyway. So it is more likely to be the above, but even then I still wouldn’t allow autodial, when you start your browser it would give the dial-up window for you to establish the connection.
You didn’t answer the question on:
If this didn’t happen on avast 5.0 ?
I would have thought it shouldn’t have changed on 5.1.
