What are the steps to turn off the updates alert from Avast antivirus?

When your Avast is installed by default, you will receive an alert on the taskbar of the desktop. This will be a notification from the antivirus stating that your “Avast is upgraded now.” If you are looking to disable these alerts, you can easily do so. This may entirely depend upon the frequency with which the update is available. Don’t forget that you are going to disable the notifications and not the updates. Your antivirus will get upgraded automatically without notifying you. If you want to switch off the auto-renewal, you may do so by modifying the setting.

How to switch off the update notification?

  1. Choose the Avast icon in the taskbar and click to open the Avast options. This will redirect you towards the protection setup page.
  2. Now, go to the settings in the upper-right corner.
  3. Then, click on the updates on the left-hand side. Go to details for expanding the options.
  4. There must be a checkbox present on the screen. Mark a check in the checkbox with “showing the notifications box after auto-updates.”
  5. Once you are done, click on the ok button for the confirmation. You may close the interface for returning back to your PC’s desktop.

How to turn off the auto-update?

If you are looking to cancel the auto-updates, you are required to follow the mentioned steps:

  • Launch the control panel through the Windows tab.
  • Go to the settings page and hold on the updates.
  • The setting for updating the antivirus will appear on the screen.
  • Ensure that you select the manual update option in the programs wizard page.
  • Confirm your selection with the ok button. Close your window now.
