Hello,
This is my first post here; I've read numerous topics, but have not created one until now. So, on with the questions...
Okay, I was wondering if the VRDB service is really necessary. Does it cause any slowdown when it is not running? Also, what does it consider to be 'idle'? I mean, if I'm running an application, such as a game, and lets say there is a video sequence occurring, will the VRDB service consider the computer to be idle while this is going on? My concern is that there could be slowdown while the video is running.
Now, my other question is this: If I am running a personal firewall (as well as the 'firewall' w/ my router), is it necessary for the Network Shield to be running? If it matters, ZoneAlarm is the firewall I am running, and I am using a BEFSX41 router.
I hate having too many things running, if you haven't noticed; thus, I don't want this or the VRDB service running if they aren't really necessary.
Oh, by the way, I modified these settings in my 'avast4.ini' file.
IdleMeansSeconds=120
RunInterval=40320
Thanks in advance to anyone that replies to this!
