Hi ady4um, if you wish to disable these shield's perminitly go to add remove program's, click on avast then click change and untick the shield's you don't want and reboot.
Craigb, thank you for your answer.
I apologize if I wasn't clear enough.
1) I don't want to completely
uninstall those shields. I have my reasons not to constantly run them, but I also have my reasons not to uninstall them.
2) I already opened the Avast Free UI and stopped those 2 shields, using the option "stop permanently".
3) Usually, I use Avast Free at this state, with all but 2 shields (P2P and mail).
4) The
ONLY issue is when I have to temporarily disable the currently-running shields, and then when they are being automatically reactivated,
ALL shields return to the "running" state, not
JUST the previously-running ones.
So, I don't want to uninstall those 2 shields, and I don't need/want "workarounds", like
manually stopping again those 2 shields.
For those exceptional situations when I temporarily disable the running shields, I just need Avast to return to the previously correctly-configured state, instead of just "deciding" by itself to activate all the shields it "wants".
As I expressed in my previous post, I think this behavior should be improved in the near future.
Since I don't know if this current behavior is intentional, or maybe a bug, or maybe not enough "well" thought through, I thought I could comment this issue so other users could comment about it too.
Like, just for example:
Does anyone saw this behavior also?
Is this behavior bothering anyone else?
Does anyone else think that this behavior should/could be improved?
Does any user has any comments or ideas on how to improve it?
Does anyone agree/disagree with me about my suggestion on how this behavior should be improved?
And a very important question:
Does this current behavior, as I described it, have any current solution, so to make it work as desired?
Any ideas/suggestions/comments are very welcome.
TIA.
