uffbros,

Just to add a bit of clarification here. Avast checks as soon as it starts for an update. If it does not see one available because you are up to date, it will check again in 4 hours.

Should it not get a server connection immediately, then it will retry until it does.

You can set it to search every hour if you wish, but I doubt if we will be putting out hourly updates. ;D

I would recommend that you change the VRDB generation time instead. It makes more sense to “fingerprint” the system settings more often in case of virus infection. This setting is also in the .ini file.

Thanks for using Avast
