Big deal!
I am running a win98se 166mhz cpu with 56mb ram yes those numbers are correct. I use to have problems completing a scan of my harddrives. I always pick thorough scan with archive scan enabled.
However I did find an odd solution useing the backup utility that comes with win98se I backup my c: drive to a folder on my d: drive than selected restore backup and selected replace all files . There was a bunch of warnings a few about avast being busy and a few about regestry settings just kept clicking ok. After the reboot the key to avast was lost likely I saved it was able to put back in. Now here is the interesting part now when avast starts it uses its safety mode skin and not that blue one. Now that it is running with safety mode skin it runs faster.
I would like to caution trying to follow what I did there is a good possibility that you might lose your entire system.
Sounds dangerous!
Anyway to get the safey skin to load without all that backing up?

Culpeper: It is a low-res skin, that’s used automatically for low monitor resolutions (or more likely for low number of colors (16), I’m not sure) - which is the case when the Windows are running in Safe mode.
If you want to use it even for ordinary resolutions, you can enable it - go to the avast4\Data\Skin folder, find the “low res.asws” file and rename it to anything else (e.g. “verysimple.asws”). Now, you will see the skin in the ordinary “Skin selection” dialog and you will be able to use it as any other skin.
But I warn you - it’s really not a nice skin 8)
I personally don’t think Avast is a memory hog.
Besides, I would rather use a memory hog if it:
(1) Is accurate in detection and quick with updates. (eg Avast, F-Secure)
(2) Is quick to scan (eg McAfee) and leaves little slowdown footprint (eg Avast)
Applause ;D
Thanks!
I like it and thanks again for the instructions. ;D
To Mantra thanks for the info I will give doctor web a try. Lately I have not been very happy with avast. Right now I am running the active scan by panda . It is also free. I can not yet say how could it is but it does run faster than avast. Half hour versus over two hours. With a normal skin it never did complete.
I don’t like Dr. Web… Poorly written website, 5 articles in their helpfile (of some old version). You must REBOOT to change settings in the RTM…
does somebody know how many ram want avast32 V3
