Hi Michelle,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community.
We're glad to clarify this for you.
AVG protection programs are set to automatically update whenever new virus definitions or a new application version are available.
We strongly recommend you keep these automatic updates enabled. It is also possible to perform manual updates or to require permission before an update is downloaded.
However, updating the program or virus definitions will not change the settings of your program.
For further queries, feel free to write back to us.
Which of my settings change when AVG Free updates itself? Will my privacy settings stay the same?
