| 733612 | 2008-12-30 05:40:00 | Select all the programs you use. When I was running it I disabled the peer to peer and instant messaging shields as I don't use either. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 733613 | 2008-12-30 06:27:00 | You should disable VRDB generation - right-click on the I icon (in a circle like Avast icon) in your system tray, choose Disable VRDB Generation and Merge with main Avast icon. VRDB Generation is annoying because it makes your PC slow to return from showing a screensaver and thrashes your HD. |

| 733614 | 2008-12-31 20:53:00 | Thanks for help. While making the suggested settings I notice that Web Shield is disabled. Do I need that enabled? | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 733615 | 2008-12-31 20:55:00 | Webshield doesnt have to run. It can slow you down when going to diff sites | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 733616 | 2008-12-31 21:18:00 | Another Question. Under the Menu - Status Info, Last Scan Results and View Scan Results are not highlighted. (I have done a full scan). I can't find a setting so I can select these. | bellbird (6169) | ||
