Solved avast 6.0.1000 free home edition

[t-4-2]

My previous avast was expiring, so I installed the newer version 6.0.1000 free Home Edition.

One minor issue :

How do I disable the " voice " announcement that avast has been updated ?
I did that in the old version, but I have trouble in this new version.
What I did was to right click at the avast icon at system tray > click Silent/gaming mode.
Trouble is, even if it works, it does not stay this way on next reboot.
I'd like to disable the " voice " permanently.

Thank you.

Right-click the icon in the notification area and click on Open avast! user interface. Next, click on SETTINGS and then Sounds. Click on Enable avast! sounds to remove the tick to disable the sounds and then click OK and then close the interface dialogue. To reenable the sounds, repeat, but thius time make sure that the option has a tick.

If you have used a password to prevent unauthorised access to the interface, provide the required password when prompted.

Ah ! That's the steps I had overlooked.

Thank you. It worked.

You're welcome.

The other option you tried, Silent/Gaming Mode, only applies for the current session, or until you change it. A restart turns this mode off.

I had my sound off but then I discovered the pirate talk...too cool.
