bootup scanning failure

ver 4.1.39 win xp pro kerio 4.x firewall. after install the scanner worked and then get user login etc. do anything on pc and reboot or shut off and power on and it no longer does a bootup scan…is there a fix ?

The boot-time scan is supposed to work this way - you schedule it, it’s performed once and it’s done (until you schedule it again, of course - you can do it from the menu: “Schedule boot-time scan”).

There’s no way to set it “permanent” in avast… you could probably schedule it, extract the corresponding registry (BootExecute) and make your system import it again on every boot - but do you really need the scan on every boot? Wouldn’t it slow down the boot-time in a terrible way?

If you really want it, you can put a link for:

“C:.…\Avast\Ashquick.exe” “*STRT-MEM-SHORT”

into your startup folder ;D
