David, that’s not the point. Of course, you have the possibility to manually update. But the point is that there is a specific setting that the user chose, and Avast should respect it.

Moreover, think about millions of users not checking the status of Avast in the GUI, and not coming here to follow the development (both being totally comprehensible, understandable, acceptable). They are not having the latest stable version, if they are not seeing the program update tray notification.
