I dont want to have to keep rebooting in safe mode to bypass all the protections avast places – I need to install two temporary instances of RUBY I know are safe, and a vpn network setup – which I have done before in safe mode to bypass it – but I want to just KILL AVAST when I need to.
I realize security, etc, but I AM THE ADMIN. and I DO KNOW EXACTLY what I am doing, take full responsibility, etc. this is TEMPORARY – I just want to kill it once, install my software that it prevents, and turn it immediately back on.
this wont let me untick the option! every time I try to it resets itself! what do I do to get it to STOP protecting itself? I DONT GIVE HALF A F*** IF ITS RECCOMENDED OR NOT, I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, AND I WANT TO DISABLE IT FOR GOOD REASONS, whether you reccomend to or not, and regardless of your belief if its safe (I’ll bet any amount of money and have the agreement legally notorized if you want to place some bets here), because IT IS, in fact what im doing is SAFER than anything avast could ever provide. complete web anonymization, and strong defense against hacking
If the unchecked option doesn’t stick, it seems there’s something wrong with the installation - that’s certainly not the intention.
Do other changes stick, is it just this one?
Have you considered just because in your case bob3160 the setting does stick this would NOT necessarily mean the setting will be persistent with other(s), in fact the setting will most likely remain very close to persistent for virtually ALL users as this is obviously the intent of the setting (I would have been surprised if it wasn’t persistent for you). You might notice igor mentioned that there could be “something wrong with the installation” in the event that the setting doesn’t stick for spiroth10. You might also notice that spiroth10 posted that it “… wont let me untick the option! every time I try to it resets itself!”, hence it would appear that the setting does NOT presumably remain persistent for spiroth10 which I would venture to guess is what igor noticed at the top of the thread and therefore is presumably the very reason he stated there could be “something wrong with the installation” in the first place.
Do you really think I have a special version of Avast that works differently from yours ???
There are certainly other differences between our computers but my free version of Avast is exactly the same as yours.
