@ mchain
I don't believe that the .ini file would reveal much, as the previous ones attached showed little difference between. Looking at your figures then look reasonable balanced when compared with the web shield and network shield.
The problem as outlined I believe are/were more related to a problem in the transient cache and not so much the filesystemshield.ini setting, unless of course the user set it to scan all files.
@ Tetsuo
Yes as has been mentioned it is mostly seen in XP Systems.
UPDATE: For Igor and others with the problem
As I mentioned in Reply #62 above in response to Igor's comment "How about now, any improvement?" I have modified my exclusions to see if that reproduces the problem.
Yesterday there were 5 VPS/engine updates, so it may be that one or more of these were engine updates and changed the way that the transient cache and FSS work together, I don't know. However, the current status is that the repetitive scanning appears to have stopped, e.g. the transient cache function appears to be working now.
####
So for those with the problem, I suggest you reset the last scanned count, so as to see how it is working now and monitor over an hour or two. To reset the counts, Stop the FSS (self-defence module will seek confirmation) and immediately Start it again, the counts will be at 0/0.

One thing that I have noticed (whilst I had the Report File set to record OK files), if I use the XP Quick Launch toolbar and open just one application, avast's FSS scans All quick start links (.lnk)

So it would appear that some things have changed in yesterdays updates as currently the FSS files scanned count is 124/0.
