Does anyone know if there is an effective way to copy V5 settings (free version)? I typically spend a good half-hour or more fine-tuning the settings in the new V5 (which btw the new GUI is fabulous, thank you Alwil!) I have found some posts referring to V4, but none about this possibility in V5. Thanks in advance. E.
there’s no tool for this implemented (yet). You can save *.ini files found in the avast5 folder (in all users or program data) and restore them, at your own risk. I’ve done that a few times, it worked almost each time after a new install from scratch …except once, I had to reinstall ;)… may be avoid to restore avast5.ini, but you should be good with the others (web shield etc…)
Turn-off self-defence module and copy .ini files is how I transfer my settings to the kids’ PCs.
My setting has self-defence module on.
