In the UI,settings>updates>proxy settings, is there any difference between using ,direct connnection(no proxy), or what I’m currently set at,auto detect (use internet explorer settings.) Is one any better than the other??? Thanks.
I would say it is preferable to use the direct connection (no proxy) if that is correct for your system. That saves avast trying to extract the information from IE, which on occasion it can’t.
The reason the auto detect (use internet explorer settings.) is the default is avast doesn’t know your connection status, so this is the safest option as you would normally have to set any proxy used in the IE settings.
Thanks David I’ll change my setting.
You’re welcome.
