Ooops ;D Let me be more clear -
I’m running XP pro, Avast fully up-to-date.
It seems If I run my filemanager (serveant salamander), the on access scanner does its thing - Which slows the startup of Salamander down quite a bit - And thats fine. But if I close salamander down, and then open it again in ten minutes (example) - Avast seems to scan everything again (salamander has a tremendous amount of plugins etc.) So it seems to me that Avast has no idea it just scanned the files - ie. it didn’t make note of what was recently scanned in order to ignore it then next time.
So I might be right or wrong about that…? but if Avast does cache some sort of checksum for a period of time - I’m wondering if the sensitivity of the on access scanner effects it (how long it ‘remembers’ - whether it remembers at all)
