Is there a way to increase the time that the Avast self protection is disabled for? Every time I turn it off to edit the Avast ini file Avast reenables it only moments later. Well, if I make a single edit in the ini file and save changes I am then unable to save the file again after that as the file is once again protected. Checking in the Avast settings the option is checked, reenabled by itself. Irritating. It should stay off for as long as I choose to disable it for.
