Avast! configuration copy

Suppose I adquire a new pc and want to save and restore the avast! configuration files in the new PC.

What steps I must do ?

Thanks.

Excuse my english

The main file to copy would be the avast4.ini file and possibly the avast4.db in the C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA folder.

You would need to disable the avast self-defence module or boot into safe mode (where avast doesn’t run) to replace the files in the new installation.

Thanks David : understood.

In these moments I would like if is it possible exit Avast! from the status bar.
I only see the option stop protection.

The configuration files are not meant to be copied to another machine - if the target machine has a different OS or avast! is installed in another folder / on another disk, it probably won’t work.
Besides, some info is also stored in registry.

Thanks Igor.

The software do well.

The same o.s.
But not the same disk.

I don’t have a special configuration. Only want to preserve exceptions because I use Avast several times under the same pc.

For example. jv16 utilities recommend be as a exception.

Copying avast.db won’t work in this case…

I don’t know what the programa does. But it’s doing well and have no problem at the moment. Certainly, I don’t have any real problem anyway.

If the avast.db don’t work it’s probably substituted by new values on the fields and so on. I don’t really know, but don’t care.

I don’t have a special configuration, but the exceptions seems to be in avast4.ini because when indepent the installations dissapeared, but when I copy both files : avast.db and avast4.ini from the original partition system the exceptions reappeared and well configured.

Also, when the independation is done Avast! offers actuallize version. Proofed in three systems and I have five to resolve…
