Awake,

You have found the flexibility of Avasts!  It can be set many different ways to do many things.

The best part is that YOU, the user, can undo them simply by changing the settings.

Sometimes "pushing" the settings higher can cause scanning trouble in some computers, but if it does, then just set it back down to default (Normal).

Good luck,
Techie

if its set to high you dont need to mess with it. unless you really really want to customize it otherwise high will operate fine

I know what you mean! ;)
I can't let a day go by, without messing with something on my PC.
Only thing is that if I do screw something up, I have no-one to fix them :'(
You are lucky Awake :D

(But I don't mind, I always have a great time messing around, trying to fix my problems, after I create them! lol! :P)
