Basic component configuration
In the bottom part of the dialog you can find the Update Manager settings section
where you can perform some changes to the rules of the update process launch. You
can define whether you wish the update files to be downloaded automatically (Start
automatic updates) or just on demand. By default, the Start automatic updates
option is switched on and we recommend to keep it that way! Regular download of
the latest update files is crucial for proper functionality of any security software!
Further you can define when the update should be launched - in free version of AVG
the only option is available: At a specific time - define the exact day and time.
By default, the update is set for every 4 hours. It is highly recommended to keep this
setting unless you have a true reason to change it!
Please note: The software vendor has set up all AVG components to give optimum
performance. Unless you have a real reason to do so, do not change the AVG
configuration. Any changes to settings should only be performed by an experienced
user. If you need to change AVG configuration, select the system menu item Tools /
Advanced settings and edit the AVG configuration in the newly opened AVG
Advanced Settings dialog.
