I have Avast 6 and MBAM Pro installed; while MBAM would start delayed by design,however the def will be updated right away .The same is valid for Avast.
What setting should I choose to prevent updatind definitions for both at the same time?
The avast auto update check happens fairly quick in the cycle once a connection is detected. If you have delayed the update check in MBAM, you shouldn’t have to change anything unless you are experiencing problems (delayed boot, etc.).
If so then:
In avast6/7 you need to edit (using notepad) avast5.ini the [InetWD] section of the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software\Avast5\avast5.ini (XP file location). Location for Vista, win7, C:\ProgramData\Alwil Software\Avast5\avast5.ini.
If you did a clean install of avast6 the folder names are slightly different, \Avast Software\Avast\ instead of \Alwil Software\Avast5\ other than that it is the same procedure.
Broadband connections, add this line: AlwaysConnectedWaitSeconds=120 and AssumeAlwaysConnected=1 if not present (or edit AssumeAlwaysConnected=0 to AssumeAlwaysConnected=1)
