Avast is a popular antivirus program that is often automatically updated. This can be a nuisance because it can take up space on your hard drive and slow down your computer.

There are several ways to stop Avast from automatically updating.

The first option is to disable automatic updates completely. This can be done by going to the Avast software’s main menu, selecting “Settings,” and then clicking on the “Update” tab.

Here, you can select the “Never” option to prevent Avast from updating.

Another option is to delay updates for a certain amount of time. This can be done by going to the “Update” tab and selecting the “Advanced” button.

Here, you can select the “Update interval” option and set a desired time interval. For example, you could set a two-hour update interval.

The final option is to selectively allow certain updates. This can be done by going to the “Update” tab and selecting the “Update Options” button.

Here, you can select the “Update types” option and choose which updates you want to allow. For example, you could allow only security updates to be downloaded and installed.
