Hello,

I chose the option “Ask when update is available” for program updates of avast, but never saw avast telling me there is a new version available.

Where would I see this notice? Pop-Up near tray Icon?
Message-Box in the middle of the screen? Where and approx. when?

Greetings, Fract

The program update is spread out over a week to reduce server load. So you still have some days left before you get that message.

OK, but what would it look like?
A pop-up in the middle of the screen or at the traybar. What options show up?

Maybe we are too fast in manual downloading and can’t wait for the download to announce itself ;D

Hi Fract,

If you’re familiar with the auto-update notices for defs, it’s in just about the same place, lower-right corner by the toolbar. And there’s a “Click to install” link on it – although if the timing’s not convenient just then, you can just let the message disappear (after a few seconds) and get the update manually whenever.

It will look the same as the iAVS update, appearing at the bottom right of the screen.

You can however, do periodic manual updates.
