When Avast needs to restart your computer after a program update, it provides an option to remind you "next century":

Based on anecdotal responses to it that I've come across, it definitely doesn't wait an actual century, so just what exactly does the option do, and how long does it wait?

Just tried pressing "Next Century" and "Ok" then set my clock forward 100 years minus 3 minutes. Waited 3 minutes and guess what:

it actually popped up again!

It just a joke from Avast. I pressed that button and they reminded me again the next day! It seems they saying: nobody will be there to remind you on that virtual date!
