@Abdallah El-Alfy Software Updater (Automatic updates) are not available in Avast Free.

Quote from Avast Forum:

The update process itself depends on the product type you own:
  • In Avast Free Antivirus you are usually notified by a toaster. An adaptive system makes sure you receive them regularly in case you really use (click) them. In case you ignore them they'll slowly disappear. You have to update the software then directly from the UI.
  • In Avast Internet Security and Avast Pro Antivirus usually notified by the same toaster system like in Free. The difference is that you'll not see any ads and you do not have to wait for the downloads to finish as Software Updater will download the updates automatically before it notifies you.
  • Fully automatic and silent updates are available in Avast Premier only but you have to manually activate them once, otherwise Premier will work the same like Internet Security or Pro. Activating them is something I would (personally) absolutely recommend from a security perspective: no need to worry about latest software anymore - Software Update will do it fully automatically in the background!
does software updater check automatically?

Malware problem in the last 3 months? You have a good config,how did this happen? If you don't mind sharing.
Do you have SmartScreen enabled? I like to enable it even if I don't really need it.
Replace ABD+ with uBlock Origin in Chrome
Replace AVG Tuneup with CCleaner or Privazer as either one of these are more than enough and other tweaks can be accomplished manually.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

AVG pc tuneup is a waste of Money if you ask me. The only useful feature is program deactivator and turbo mode. the rest is junk / bloat. also that zen console is more than annoying!
