| 788051 | 2009-07-01 23:13:00 | Hey I have been wondering if anti-virus is running at the login screen. Because sometimes I start up my laptop and just leave it sitting at the login screen, and then when I do login my anti-virus splash screen comes up. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 788052 | 2009-07-01 23:24:00 | Well Avast does, thats what the a on the taskbar is | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 788053 | 2009-07-01 23:26:00 | No before you get to your desktop when you are just sitting at the login screen does anti-virus run? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 788054 | 2009-07-01 23:31:00 | Well most load something since the icon ends up in the taskbar, but it doesnt mean its scanning your system as well. You'll have to do that manually | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 788055 | 2009-07-01 23:33:00 | Yea the actual AV service will start as soon as windows is up and running so will be running in background at the login screen. When you do eventually log in all that you are seeing is the GUI loading for the AV software. |
