After upgraded to Avast Pro 4.7, I rechecked if previous settings are preserved. All settings are so as they should be.
Here is a quick question however. Under Avast On-Access Scanner -> Standard Shield -> Resident task settings -> Blocker.
I've selected "Deny the operation". I am concerned if this selection may result in possible system crash as my XP system tries to perform critical operation. On the other hand, "Allow the operation" may let malicious operation get away with it.
Anyone could kindly advise?
Details:
If an operation should be blocked but Avast cannot ask what to do (e.g. because the screen-saver is running), it should
- Allow the operation
- Deny the operation (currently this is selected)
