avast 9.0.2008 free x86.
avast 2014 can not save "Explorer scan" settings properly. (settings not persist)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Users can configure context menu scan settings via-
AVAST UI>>SETTINGS>>ANTIVIRUS>>SPECIAL SCANS>> EXPLORER SCAN --> SETTINGS.
I found that some of these settings not saved and will revert to default state automatically.Some of them are-->
Custom Packers settings
Scan for potentially unwanted programs (check box)
Actions> Automatically apply actions during scan (check box)-------------------Workaround----------------------------------------------------
One can create the bug, just open Explorer scan settings and click Packers tab, now select some custom packers,
save the settings and close all related dialogs.
Now scan a blank folder using right click context menu. (important step)
Now open up the settings window again, see what? packers setting will be reverted to default state.
means "All packers" check box will found to be checked each time.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If someone found/confirm this bug too. please forward to avast team !
thanks!
