Update bandwidth issue

Hello Graeme, sorry to know this. Unfortunately AVG updates automatically. There is no option to stop the automatic updates in the AVG settings. You can install any AVG updates offline.I request you to go through the following link http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-update-AVG and install AVG updates offline.  Thank you.

why does the program update as soon as I start the computer? I live in a rural location with crappy speeds and starting google (no ads etc) can take 10 mins due to your updates… can't you put something in where it will wait for some idle time before update , not the second I connect
