So now are you saying I have to make that configuration in order to get the protection Avast provides for messenger service?
For avast to scan the files that are sent to you from yahoo, open yahoo messenger, click the messenger menu at the top and select preferences, then select “file transfer” category down the left hand side, then under “Virus Checker” put “C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” (without quotes), then avast should scan your incoming files. (see below)
BTW, there is a sensitivity bar in avast, if you click the “A” ball in your taskbar (next to your system clock) and then select “Instant messaging”, you will notice a sensitivity bar to the right (normal, high, custom), you many want to put that to high if there is a “rampant” virus going around yahoo right now.
