I have mine set for “Auto-decide” as it is way too chatty on “Ask” and you have to know what it is asking about.

5

Auto decide for me :slight_smile:

6

+1+1. During Microsoft Tuesday I changed to Auto- decide to avoid any alerts.

7

I’m with Yokenny, ask is too chatty so I’m on auto-decide.

8

I prefer “ask”. I like to have some control.

thnx for the reply guys maybe on ask is mainly for advanced users as probably they know what they are doing… sometimes when avast alerts me on ask honestly i have no idea how to answer lol so now mine is on auto-decide… what will happen if its on blocked?

  1. You’re welcome.
  2. Right. :wink:

If you put it on block, you will have a lot of safe things that just aren’t known or signed get blocked. It would probably effectively break a lot of things.

Maybe you are too paranoid. :wink:

Yokenny, that guy looks like an Avira user ;D

For me: Ask.
Although in version 6 it triggers very rare. The questions mostly come from AutoSandbox.
