Virus Software has been updated audio

How do I shut off the annoying " Avast Virus software hase been updated." I see the icon pop up to alert me of an update and that’s’ plenty.

that voice is annoying as heck.

Also, is there a way top delay updates? as soon as I boot up my machine, Avast updates and makes my WIn7 very sluggish for a moment until update complete.

thanks.

Hi kurtwsd,
welcome to the avast! forum.

No. 1: Under “Main GUI / Settings / Sounds” you can check/uncheck any sound coming from avast!

No. 2: Se here >>> http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=125243.msg944315#msg944315
EDIT: The path for Win7 is >>> C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\avast5.ini

Delay Auto Update - In avast8 you need to edit (using notepad) avast5.ini the [InetWD] section of the, C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\avast5.ini. Win7, Vista location, this folder may be hidden, you will also have to run notepad.exe as administrator to prevent UAC intervention.

  • Broadband connections, add this line:
    AlwaysConnectedWaitSeconds=120 and
    AssumeAlwaysConnected=1 if not present (or edit AssumeAlwaysConnected=0 to AssumeAlwaysConnected=1)
[InetWD] AssumeAlwaysConnected=1 AlwaysConnectedWaitSeconds=120
When complete save the changes, avast's self-defence module will ask for confirmation, etc. answer Yes. You can extend this duration if required.
