New BETA 4.5.529 - hopefully solving many of the issues...?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

passing of “/silent” switch to ashupd.exe

i’ve searched the forum and didn’t come up with anything. i’m trying to make ashupd run in silent mode because i don’t want to see info about the ivas – and, optionally, the program – updates. if i run ashupd manually, via the command line, one has the option of using this switch, but how do we make the switch so it is in effect when avast runs it automatically?

this used to be ease in an older version, but no more.

thanks!

Hi

I’ve had a problem sending emails with large attachments (OL2003/SP1 on WInXP). Just tried the beta to see if it made any difference but it hasn’t. Only way to send with large (>3mb) attachments is to turn Avast off completely …

Cheers

Do you mean the build 4.5.536?

Following the link from the 1st message on this thread, yes.

i had this problem with an older version of avast. i increased the server timeout to solve it.

26

Atomizer, are you using the last program update (official release, not a beta) 4.5.542 ?
It fixes many of the earlier problems including the timeout one.
Just invoke program update: right click the avast icon > Updating > Program Update.

27

oh no, i’m not complaining at all! i’m very happy with avast and have absolutly NO complaints (other than i’d like to figure out how to disable the auto-notifications for database updates). and yes, i am using the latest stable version (.523). i’ve been using it for a few years, i think since the early release days.

Yeah I know, I shouldn't just jump in when you are having a party ;D But the latest official release is not .523 but .542 ;)

oh wow. well, it was .523 yesterday :slight_smile:

thanks!

Easy… See ‘Seetings’ on my signature.
SuppressUpdatedInfo=1
on section [AAVM] :wink:

i think i’m confusing people. especially me. i forgot that there are actually 2 notifications for updates; 1) the small, blue pop-up near the task bar that can tell you if an update is available. that’s no problem to deal with, as i use the auto-update setting for the virus database (so i don’t see the pop-up). what i’m trying to disable is the larger window that confirms the update was installed that you have to click “OK” to close. i added the variable “SuppressUpdatedInfo=1” to the proper section of the ini a long time ago, but it didn’t work. i don’t think it’s working now either, because if i manually update, via r-click avast tray icon, click ivas update, i still get the confirmation window. i assume that it will still pop-up after an auto-update as well. so, firstly, i just wanted to point out exactly which window i’m trying to hide and secondly, ask if “SuppressUpdatedInfo=1” affects the window i’m trying to hide.

thanks!

If you uncheck the option of the ‘progress’ on the installation into the update settings, won’t it do it?

What about the value NeverShowInfo=0 ???

re, your 1st idea, you lost me. can you provide info on where this setting is located?

re, your 2nd idea, “0” or “1” doesn’t seem to work (for suppressing the ivas update dialog).

thanks for the info though!

Update (Basic)
Details
Uncheck ‘Show update progress’

ah, ok. for the iVAS update options, i already have “silent” selected and “show update progress” UNselected.

there was just another program update, so tommorow i’ll restart and see what that holds.

thanks
