We’re lazy and stupid… Now we don’t understand this you posted before:
The reverting-to-the-original-version thing you're seeing is a consequence of the fact that deftasks.xml is normal part of avast installation and therefore the avast auto-repair feature always replaces it to the original version. However, this is not a problem as the "import" procedure from the modified version is already done at that moment.
Please, help me on my thought:
- avast loads
- the user changes some settings
- the user runs the repair function and deftasks.xml is ‘restored’ to original state
- boot
- What happens with the configuration?
Between which step the configuration of number 2 was saved?
If I understand correctly, among the configuration stored in deftasks.xml are the archive file types to be scanned ‘on-access’, aren’t they?
On-demmand you can check ‘all’ archive files to scanned…
How to do it on-access?
See Igor’s post:
For the on-access scanner, you are right.
In the on-demand scanner, you can enable all supported packers by the checkbox "Scan archive files".
Can you teach me? ;D
