Avast default settings?
« on: September 04, 2006, 01:30:09 AM »
What are the default settings for the Standard Shield advanced tab? There is a list of items shown that will not be scanned. Also should I check all of the blocked operations on the blocker tab or leave them unchecked? I have them check now and I am always getting blocked warnings.

Also on the Web Shield Exceptions tab, there are several MIME types excluded.

This is how it is now set up. Are these default settings?

STANDARD SHIELD ADVANCED Settings:(items that will not be scanned)

?:\PAGEFILE.SYS
*.TXT
*.LOG
*.INI
C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS\*.MANIFEST
C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS\*.CAT
C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS\*.POLICY
*\EDB.CHK

Web Shield seetings, MIME exceptions.

audio/*

image/png
text/css
video/*

Thank you for any assistance.

Very few configuration screens in Avast have a buttom to reset to the default values.

I too would like to see a list of defaults for Avast.  I can't find anything in the Avast knowledgebase.

Is there a list of defaults on this website somewhere?

I don't think so... unfortunately.
Here is a avast4.ini file default... http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=1647.msg64903#msg64903
