Hi  I am sorry to ask this stupid question I was reading in another post in here today and I accidentally should have started another post I was wondering if someone can answer a question if possible.

1.  What is a transfer file.

2.   Why would u put Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashquick.exe
       What is the purpose for it.

I use MSN and I always thought the MSN was virus protected when u get email or u send email that they scan it.  So do u put this in your MSN if you are using it.  Thank you for any help and clarification in what to do.

A file that you download or receive (like an email attachment) from other user of MSN.

2.   Why would u put Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashquick.exe What is the purpose for it.
To scan it on-demmand. Standard Shield and IM provider will scan it on-access. But, to be sure and scan archive files, you could use the 'extra' protection of ashquick.exe

When u get email or u send email that they scan it.
Do you believe more on MSN scanning than your own (avast)?  ;) ;D
