turn off warning sound?

[lee_]

is there a way to turn off the warning sound in the outlook provider?  

I have 'silent mode' set, but the alarm sound still plays.

Silent mode is something completely different (please see the help for more info).

To disable or fine-tune avast sounds, start 'avast antivirus' (e.g. by clicking the desktop icon), go to the settings (via program menu) and make necessary changes on the Sounds page.

Hope this helps,
Vlk

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'd suggest making the control panel app easier to find:

* add a button on the Resident Protection app to go to the control panel app.

* rename the right click status bar menu item that was 'Start Avast! .." to 'Avast! Control Center' or something.  (Since I knew the avast scanner was already running, I didn't think to try 'Start Avast!')

* make a more traditional skin the default.

You already have a button on every single skin for resident app. All my skins have a button (usually on the top part of the skin) with sign "MENU" very easy to read...

If you don't like those "gamey" style skins, you can switch anytime to  "Corporate" or "Flat'n'Simple" skins which are also done by me, and they look pretty much like 'normal' Win98 windows. I posted some picture previews of those simple skins in here:

Hi lee,

You'll probably get a better (and even more correct) technical reply from one of the team shortly, but in the meantime ...

Unless you have the interface open, avast is "running" only in the sense that the resident scanners are active.  If you want to run an on-demand disk scan, for example, or change settings other than for the resident scanners, you'll have to start the "main" program, i.e. the interface.

Hopefully this will clarify a little what's happening -- I'm not usually very successful at explaining things.  

Best,
Mike
