I recently picked up a virus - the first I've ever had in 10 years.
(I think probably from a malicious Java script somewhere, but not sure)
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=40658.0For about 9 3/4 of those years I ran without an anti-virus product.
How ironic I should get the virus, shortly after installing Avast -
and to add insult to injury, Avast did not tell me about it until the thing
had dug quite deep.
That is why I was looking at the options in the Standard shield, to see if I could
have had more notification and/or more sensitivity that would have helped detect the
virus above before it infected!
Consider this scenario:
You set the sensitivity slider to "custom", hit "customize"
and change a setting.
OK out.
Later, you go back in and drag the sensitivity slider back to normal and OK out.
It seems a reasonable expectation that that would restore the default "normal"
behavior but it doesn't. What ever you changed using the customize button persists.
This is, frankly, a terrible design and should be considered a bug.
