Avast screensaver problem

Hi folks

Im tried to use the Avast screensaver utylity to perform virusscan when in screensaver mode. But when i “wake up” the comp. from screensaver mode i have this square moving around my screen saying “intializing engine” or something like that and it never goes away :frowning: What is wrong or what im a missing here ?

Im running WinXpro , P4 1.7 512ram.

Cheers

Chrester,

Which underlying screen-saver (if any) have you set up to run with avast?

Thanks,
Vlk

I set up the screensaver webshots ,if you are familiar with it. Does it matter wich screensaver i set up ?

By the way , Avast4 is a great program :slight_smile:

I don’t really know, I was just trying to find something nonstandard/suspicious. Can you please try it with some built-in simple screensaver, such as the ‘Starfield’? Thanks

Oh, thanks much… Let’s hope version 4.1 (due in May) will be even better - we still have much to do to make avast real #1:wink:

Ill try another screensaver as soon as i get back at home. Im at work right now :frowning:

I see, another Sunday worker here… ;D ;D

he he , thats right ;D

Jepp , that did the trick :slight_smile: Ive changed the screensaver to XPscr. and it works just fine.
A thought came by , wouldnt it be better if the virusscan coutinued where it stopped last scan ? As it is now it seems to restart from the beginning every time the screensaver starts. For us who have large harddisks it might be good to have that option ::slight_smile:

I read this topic ;D

I had the same problem, so I don’t use avast!4 screensaver option…I prefer to scan my system manually (however, I think it’s not necessary if the Avast! On access scanner is always turned on…)

bye from Italy

P.S. Avast!4 IS THE BEST!
