Was refering to program update checkes. I know the virus database is updated almost daily, that is set to update automaticlly. Program updates I have avast tell me when they are there, and download them when I am not doing anything else on the internet. I have crappy dial-up, I live in the middle of know where. :-[ I just wanted to know if I could chage the color of the box when program updates where avaiable so I would know to do the update, with both the Message saying that the Virus Database was updated and that there are Program updates both being blue, some times I miss the program update because I think that it had just updated the database.
