| 173337 | 2003-09-06 04:52:00 | I'm running into some problems concerning avast 4 Home edition. In the folder C:\WINDOWS\Temp\_avast_, there is sitting 1.69GB of files. It's wasting the 3GB of space on my C: partition, which I reserve for Windows and stubborn applications that cannot be told where to install themselves to. I have a funny feeling it comes from the VRDB, which is used by Avast to "rollback" infected files. However, I'm getting the distinct feeling that I'm not going to use the VRDB (hardly get an infection, I'm not silly enough to open weird stuff [anymore] or have low security settings, and I have a firewall and subscribe to security bulletins. So is there anyway I can delete all these files safely? I have since disabled VRDB generation, but there is no documentation or commands included with Avast to delete them or explain about deleting the files. |
