[QUOTE="a090, post: 1034956, member: 99949"] Interested in this as well. When I used Avast many many moons ago, I always made these adjustments so everything was scanned. That + letting Avast re-scan the same files, even if there were no changes. Some AVs don’t scan a file a second time after the first scan unless they detect a “change” in it. For a paranoic like me, that was just asking for trouble. I never underestimate malware authors from finding an ingenious way to trick an AV into thinking a file hasn’t been changed, when it has. And so the AV fails to stop the infection even if they had the right sigs. [/QUOTE]
