Hello Everyone,
Just downloaded Avast for Home. Have set VDRB to “Generate VDRB Now”. That was half an hour ago and it’s still going like a whirling dervish - is this right and how long should I allow it to do this? I don’t use a screeen saver - just turn it off when not in use - so which is the best mode for the VDRB to operate in, please?

:-[ This is weird. I’m replying to my own posting.
The whirling dervish has now stilled himself and I see that the VDRB is operational.
If I could delete my original posting I would, but don’t think I can.

No you can’t. You can only edit it…
Only the Global Moderator could delete them…
Back to the original question …
Obviously getting a first-time-around VRDB fairly soon is important, because until then avast has nothing (well, almost nothing) to do repairs with.
For after that, I like the when-idle setting … “idle” in this case essentially means no keyboard or mouse input, not CPU activity, and avast will quite happily grab a few seconds here and there until the fresh VRDB is finished.
Many thanks Mike and Technical. All seems to be well now with my installation.
Regards,
Ozzie Joan
