Reviewed this thread so far but have not found mention if the auto-updater (well, to be correct, the scheduled updater) PROMPTS the user before committing any changes. It is politely discussing and asking the team about something we want to know more about to avoid any future problems and conflicts. But you should go look up Sony's view on the matter of trust and while you are at it, how about Microsoft's track record of behavior.
#What is avast emergency update driver#
Why we use avast? It is a tool, like a screw driver or a wrench. For those knowingly shutting it off would obviously have to just re-install as per the old way. A simple matter to settle this would be to add an optional off switch for this and the matter would be over with.
This is the very essence of manual updates. You go to shut off you machine or cut the connection and you didn't know it was in the middle of patching and it does more damage than resolved. Not aware something is being downloaded by avast. One example of this being a problem could be: I would appreciate it if everyone saying such things would stop doing so, just because you have a different opinion on the matter. It is NOT being paranoid to want to know what is happening with expensive machinery. I don't want calls being made at all by anything automated, I do not have control over or am not even made aware of such changes.
My main concern is not having an off switch.
