Hi,
This might have been brought up before, but I wasn't sure how to set up search terms that wouldn't turn up a zillion references to Ad-Aware.
My Standard Shield settings are High. Is it normal for the shield to be "triggered", with the blue "a" ball rotating, almost continuously through an Ad-Aware disk scan?
I'm accustomed to brief activity any time an application starts up (or even just my opening a folder) while the shield checks it out, but an Ad-Aware scan is the only thing I'm aware of that generates this almost continuous visible shield activity.
Probably totally normal -- I'm guessing that a "deep" A-A scan involves opening files to check their contents, and that of course would get avast's attention.
Thanks and best,
Mike
