Redscorp,
You can select the option (or not) to Autoupdate by right clicking on the A ball in the tray and opening up the Avast interface. Click the little “dot” in the upper left corner to open up the menu. Go down to Updating and click it.
Select what you want and Ok to close.
Next…Why would you only want to update once a week?
If a new virus database comes out more than once a week (and they do!)…Don’t you want to have the best protection available? If you only want to update it when you want, I hope that a “virus” thinks the same way you do!
I use Sygate also and have no problem with “permissions”. Avast has 3 processes that run not just 1. When Sysgate asks if you should give Avast permission to access the internet, give it. If it does not “remember” the settings, then I would suspect a problem with Sygate. I have had similar trouble and needed to reinstall the FW.
Good luck,
Techie
