avast has auto updates on the signatures when you first connect to the internet it will check to see if updates are available (it doesn’t establish a connection) and again after four hours if you remain connected. The updates are incremental so only the new updates would be downloaded making it much quicker.
Program updates because they are larger will Ask, in the form of a notification pop-up that a program update is available, do you want to update now. Program update notifications are spread over a 7 day cycle, to balance load on the update servers, program updates aren’t so frequent.
