"Advanced" page
"Advanced" page allows the setting of advanced parameters of AVAST32 program.
The "Enable AVAST32 logging" check box enables logging. It means in Windows 95/98 that all activities performed with AVAST32 will be written into the "AVAST32.log" text file, which will be created in data folder of AVAST32 program. Information on found viruses and users working with this program will be logged as well.
Under the Windows NT the program will try to write logging information into the system log file. You can view this file via "Event Viewer" program which can be started from "Programs/Administrative tools" folder. If the program is unable to write to this mentioned file it will write logging information in the same way like in Windows 95/98.
The use of logging is suitable especially in the network environment where it is possible to check the activity of individual users.
By checking box "Shutdown engine with AVAST32 exit" the program on its exit will shutdown the program engine and the computer will not be accessible for remote scanning then. This setting will also have influence on speed of starting the program again. Because the program will have to reload the program engine, it will be starting longer.
"Scan memory when engine starts" check box sets that the memory on the program engine start will be scanned. It is a time demanding operation and it is not recommended to enable it under the Windows NT. The memory scanning is disabled by default.
"Refresh frequency of statistics" text box defines refresh frequency of statistics. Enter number of files after their processing statistics is refreshed. If you don't want a statistics enter number 0 here.
"LOG file size (kB)" text box sets the maximum size of LOG file in kB.
