Interesting info. I know where the problem might be. …
It’s because you’re changing the default task, which has some of the preferences preset. To see exactly which preferences, look to the file deftasks.xml in the avast folder (these are the values that get written to the default avast tasks, every time you start avast).
The work around to the problem would be to create a new resident task (or more easily copy the default Resident Protection task), set it as the default task, change the settings you want, and start it. avast won’t change any of its settings as it as a user-defined (i.e. not a default) task…
I hope you understand what I meant (ehm, I’m not the soberest at the moment 
Take care,
