I’m using the current version (v4.1; build 4.1.396). My question is after the VRDB has been set up, how does one stop the “On-Access Scanner” from “talking”, i.e. everytime you make a move with the Microsoft Windoze XP OS, it gives you a detail list of every file you access for a certain function. This box shoots up from the Tray and frequently obliterates about 35% to 50% of the screen. I wish for this to stop, since it is somewhat annoying, but not at the expense of the purpose of the software – to stop the incursion of virii. Please help me.
Hello! Welcome to avast! forums 
Open On-Access screen,select Standard Shield and click Customize…
Now click Advanced tab and remove check in front of “Show detailed info on performed action”.
This should help
Thank you, sir.
You can erase the “sir” part. I’m not that old yet 
Rejzor…
Would you happen to know if that option is supposed to be enabled by default?.When i installed avast it wasnt , and neither was any of my friends…for whom i installed avast home on.Yet that question pops up often where it seems to be enabled by default for some folks.
Yeah i have noticed this. For me it was always disabled by default. For some it was enabled. Not quiet sure,but Alwil guys will probably know this
