I can’t seem to find the option to fully disable automatic updates in Avast! 4 Pro.
I’ve set Program and AVS to normal, yet I still see in TAsk Manager: ashUpdSV.exe
I’m guessing thsi is an Update Service of some sort.
Yes, I know its using very little memory and clock cycles, but I’ve just never liked thinsg running that I don’t need. its just a preference, as I like to install updates manually. even for AV apps.
thanks for any help.
*i’ve done a search already, but haven’t found any concrete answers.
It was a Registered Service indeed and you can set it to manual in Control Panel>Admin Tools>Services. (in WinXP)
Avast is a great app with even more potential.
I know I’m going to get flamed for this but…Avast! seems to use too much memory/recources (as I’ve also noted users pointing out through the many posts I’ve read before posting in the forum).
The tray icon, AshDisp.exe uses way too much for example…specially for a systray applet that’s seperated from the main application ashServ.exe
maybe the next version will produce a leaner and meaner Avast!
