Me all is running excepted for two which i didnt need its p2p and outlook so its the way for the user to configure his Anti Virus
To me that doesn’t provide a good reason to shut down email scanning. The Internet Mail provider I would say should not only be enabled but set to High sensitivity. With it set to High there is a function in the Heuristic settings which could detect multiple emails sent from your system in a given time. This may be your first indication that your system has a hidden/undetected spambot on your system.
These spambots, don’t need to use your email client (even if you don’t have one) as they usually come with their own very small SMTP client so it doesn’t need anything on your system, just your connection.
IMs have got more secure, you only have to browse the forums to see that doesn’t appear to be the case and again a second opinion never hurt anyone.
-= Is Frostwire included in the monitored programs in P2P shield…?
You only need to check the list of supported P2P applications (P2P Shield, Customize) to see it isn’t on the list, so no it isn’t monitored.
-= Sadly, it wasn’t on the list…
-= But I heard that Frostwire is from Limewire itself… So maybe, Frostwire is detected as Limewire…
-= Am I making sense…? Huh…? I just want to know if I have to scan files manually to prevent intrusions…
-= Thanks for the help…
Even coming from Limewire is no guarantee it would be recognised as limewire, from the same P2P provider detailed view you should see the last scanned and scanned count fields change if it is indeed being scanned, but I doubt that is the case.
If frostwire has a means of having your AV scan the final downloaded file (many p2p programs do) then enter C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe, which would then scan the downloaded file.
-= I’ll tell it to my cousin right away…
