Avast tweak system settings

I was wondering how can i run Boot-Time scan without need of running avast! GUI (in case if some virus blocks GUI startup). system May 14, 2004, 8:38pm 2 This thread might help. Technical gets very technical towards the end. RejZoR May 14, 2004, 8:57pm 3 Aha thanks,but unfortunately there is nothing about Boot-Time scan :-\ Actually this is for my tweak tool for avast! so its somehow very important to me (and also useful in case of some serious system infection). RejZor the boot time scanning must be configured at the Windows Registry.Probably you must check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager dnd the value BootExecute.You must add a reference to aswBoot.exe after the ‘autocheck autochk *’ value usually there.Take care, I did not test this way before…You will make the dirty work. If it works, will you add to your great tweak tool? ;D RejZoR May 16, 2004, 6:56am 5 Ofcorse i’ll add it! This will be solution for all infections where avast! cannot run because some virus kills it immediatelly when its detected in memory. VPS and Core update function is already implimented in my tweak tool so you can update avast! even if its not running. If i manage to add this than hehe it will be a very good day ;D RejZoR May 16, 2004, 7:16am 6 Ok i got all required resources! Now comes the fun part (scripting ). I think new version of tweak tool should be ready today with new boot-time scan function. RejZoR May 16,

Resolver:207.162.219.52Your first DNS point is suspicious: Yep but I can't figure out why it is showing up. @cburbs said in Quad9 and DNS Resolver:Yep but I can't figure out why it is showing up.This is a typical DNA leak from your OS, I think.Even if the NIC settings only point to the router in terms of DNS.I had a similar experience with a module of Avast antivirus software that was "trusted sites", if it is enabled then Avast will also connect to its own DNS server to check the sites you visit and of course log your browsings :-).Do you have similar software on your system? No and i get the same results off of my phone.Also if I switch to cloudfare and run dnsleaktestIP Hostname ISP Country172.68.173.29 None Cloudflare Portland, United StatesAlso Do you have any rules under firewal/rules/wan? @cburbs said in Quad9 and DNS Resolver:172.68.173.29Try looking in the state table for what is associated with this IP address. (Diagnostics / States / States)I will be more and more curious....With the settings discussed, the dnsleak test should show something like this....The only difference between the DNS settings of our systems is that I perform DNS queries through a VPN tunnel. (ExpressVPN)since the datacenter is two blocks away from me and both the Cloudflare and VPN provider ping times are 2 to 4 ms (therefore, DNS over VPN also provides very good speed)BTW, Do you have a VPN? No VPN here just trying to tweak my Pfsense box as a

I had with pictures and let them load then i could click on any one of them and they open fine now , so whatever it was , it seemed to be the re-installation that fixed the issueAgain , thank you ! DavidR May 16, 2010, 12:06am 15 You’re welcome. system May 16, 2010, 1:13am 16 Well crap , i guess this only works till i restart my PC , then i have to go thru the process of opening each folder again , so i guess it did not fix the problem completely system May 16, 2010, 8:40am 17 okay,then you you might have an operating system issues …or: what view mode are you using when you open a folder containing pictures? list, thumbnail view? which one? could be that Windows is either rebuilding the thumbnails again and again or that you’re not waiting long enough when you open a folder for all the thumbnails to be built and cached…and Avast is scanning that too.I don’t know which version of Windows you have…if you display a preview pane in folders or not (Vista/Seven). Anyway you can tweak the behavior in advanced settings/performance. What I mean is do you still have the same issue when displaying the pics just in list or detailed view? Are you using Windows Live Photo Gallery >>> it’s a CPU hog on first use…just a few hints… system May 16, 2010, 4:03pm 18 I am using XP SP3 and i put it on Thumbnail View

Hence, a new industry of anti-virus applications has sprouted up.Īvast is one of the major anti-virus developing company. Several malware, Trojan viruses, and other harmful applications are exposed via the internet, which can cause devastating losses. Right from highly sensitive data as the banking system and hospital system, to the individual user desktop data, all are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. With the increasing dependency on technology and digitization, there is an equally increasing threat. There are uncountable uses of internet technology and hence it is imperative to a sound development that it reaches out to many. Re: Updates reset firewall settings You could try the AvastUI > Settings > General > Troubleshooting – ‘Back up your Avast settings’ and see if that contains any firewall settings after a program update.In today’s world, technology has reached far and wide.
