rindsgrp,
No, I don't think you have it yet, but close.
Let's clarify the RunInterval=5......This was in one of the strings when a user wished to "force" the VRDB to start in order to check his Avast. It is a temporary measure only!
The RunInterval time is the time between VRDB updates so to speak. The RIT should be set to a more sensible period. The default is 3 weeks. I personally have mine set for 7 days.
Also, VLK did not mention that the VRDB will not generate unless the system is idle....whether the screensaver is active or not. If your tapping at those keys, it won't start.
VLK can check me on this, but I think the idle time is about 5 minutes.
Don't get to wrapped up in the technicalities. Set your screesaver time as you wish. Set the RIT to something reasonable (not 5 mintues please!), and let Avast do what it does best......
Good luck
