I have Avast Managed on machines with Windows 98. My ADNM this configured and working well with the machines which have Windows XP installed, but my problem is that with Windows 98, someone has some tips on these settings I have to do in my area or my avast to make machines with Windows 98 work better with the ADNM?
What is your problem axactly with 98?
The problem that happens is this: here in the company have some computers that have installed the OS Windows 98 SE with Avast Managed client as antivirus, every day at 8:00 users connect their computers and enter their passwords to log in the network when these machines are the original windows on the screen where the dialog box appears asking username and password to understand that the HD activity is intense (and probably for the avast is now running a task), if the user does not wait for the end this activity and login windows in the system begins to make more errors (attached below some) getting impossible to start any application. In ADNM have 3 scheduled tasks to update on demand, at 04:00, 12:00 and 18:00, disable the automatic update was having problems because of delays in the network with the findings contained in the version database, already out of this Update of 04:00 to see if it improves the startup of the machines but the problem continued.
Thx
unfortuanately there are not attachments?
to be clear this happens:?
user starts the computer
win98 boots into the first screen for logging on
there is a lot of activity when win98 is at that screen
user waits until activity is over then logs in else he gets the errors that you told about.
sounds like either one of the 3 things:
- since win98 has a different boot sequence and programs avast gets started and scans all the files (services starting) that win98 is loading during login screen
- or because of inactivity from the mouse/keyboard the recovery database is scanning files to keep the db up to date so it can clean files when they get infected, try disabling this in the ADNM
- there is another task running, try looking at logs from a client computer to see which task, maybe an on demand task that still needs execution?
