Title: "Standard Shield" - Provider Settings
Post by: rdsu on July 06, 2004, 02:41:38 AM
Hi,

I see in the help of the avast! Home Edition and Pro Edition that the "Standard Shield" have an "Packers" Page and "Virus" Page, but I can't find it!?

Hi,

Your pic is the same as I've got (home ver.).

Keep in mind that, if I'm not mistaken, there's a single set of help files which are common to both the home and pro versions.  So there's a lot in there that doesn't apply to the home edition.

Best,
Mike

VaMPiRiC_CRoW, Mike if fully right.
See the Virus page on the Pro version with its options.
There is a Virus page for each provider  ;)

In Pro version, right click the Task (in this case: Resident protection) and choose properties  ;)

I think that this could be more visible to the user...

Ok, but all is on the help files I suppose...
As I translated avast I had to 'read' and 'see' everything on it  ;D

Why not put this options in the image that I put in my first reply when we are on the Pro version? Will be great and very handy! Think about this...

In my first reply of this Topic, I put an image about the "Resident task settings".
My suggestion is to put on the right side of the Advanded option, the "Packers" and "Virus" options, in the Pro edition...
This will be very handy and all the users that have the Pro version will see that the avast! have this options, and will be more easier to change the settings...

Like:

Scanner (Basic) | Scanner (Advanced) | Blocker | Advanced | Packers | Virus

So...?

It's not there because basically changing options on these two pages requires the resident task to be restarted. Sorry but this is by design...

Ok, for example, when a user change there license to the Pro Edition, you can make that avast! should restart to have these options in the Resident tasks settings...

Vlk was trying to say that when you change any of the options available in the Enhanced User Interface only, the whole resident task must be restarted (i.e. it's deactivated for a while).
On the other hand, changes to the settings in the common resident protection control window take effect immediatelly.
