Hello,

I was playing around abit with my Avast! and noticed a few problems and things that I thought that my users on the network shouldn’t have access to on their machines.

  1. When I right clock on the avast! icon in my system tray, I can select Program Settings and are able to make changes to them but if I start the program and have it open and access the Program Settings via that way, then it requires the password. I would figure that it should always require a password.

  2. When you bring up the On-Access Scanner by double clicking on your window, you are able to customize and change the settings that were set through the ADNM, ie. for example, I have URL blocking on, but one can after just remove a certian website from being blocked or turn it off URL blocking completely .

  3. A couple computers keep coming up red showing that they are infected but when I actually go to that computer and run another scan manually, nothing is caught but those computers keep wanting to show up RED on my ADNM.

I could simply be doing something run or forgot too maybe check on one area, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Paco86

I’m still learning the interface myself but under computer catalog you can create a new group. Right click on it ( or an existing group ) and go to properties. In there you can set a password and define what the users have access to. If it is greyed out you need to right click and say define all values.

For 1. and 2. this depends on your setting of the password protection for the “On-access GUI” (see computer group’s properties).

For 3., see the On-access Scanner session for details (assuming the virus was found by the on-access scanner).
