well,…
i know it was discussed here, and the above renaming-solution was put forward by ALWIL

I don’t know if it really worked thus, cause I just checked my settings & …:

  • I have only the AntiVir-Update Service listed in the services panel, NOT the ANTIVIR(Guard)service, so maybe I just uninstalled & reinstalled AVPE WITHOUT the AVPE-guard (don’t remember, but try the search…)

But the updater & on-demand-scanner work this way, anyhow-- :wink:
