Hi.
I want to disable the rootkit detection in the Core Shield. To test something. But it won't let me. When I uncheck the box Avast immediately returns me to the main status screen and the setting hasn't been changed.
I can uncheck the nested exploit detection box, but not the main "Enable Rootkit detection" box. It won't work.
The thing I'm trying to test is a weird behavior of my PC where when I start a program it randomly sometimes sits there for about 10 seconds doing nothing. Waiting. No notable CPU activity, no disk activity, no network activity. Seemingly. So I want to test if this is caused by some component of Avast Free.
But as it is I can't seem to even test this.
