Sorry, but that is the worst defense of this issue with avast! that I can imagine. If a feature is not working properly (i.e. update notifications), the burden for a workaround does not magically shift to users.
I used to be big into security software; I used HIPS software (and configured it to death), I was on Wilders all the time, I tried every bit of software under the sun… That was a few years ago. Today I have better things to do.
When I configure avast! to “Ask when an update is available”, oddly enough I expect avast! to ask when an update is available! Not only am I too busy to check the GUI constantly, I … should … not … HAVE … to!
