In order to protect your computer as much as possible it is better to start the Resident protection even before you start the work to be performed. The task will monitor almost all the activities performed inside your computer. In the case of an attempt to perform a suspicious operation or if the program finds a virus in the program being run, or in the system area of the inserted diskette, it will display a warning message. The task, however, will only prevent the virus from the infiltration into the system, when it is running. At the end of its completion, however, the system is no longer protected.
The resident protection after AVAST32 installation is automatically started after each system restart, so you do not have to run this task manually.
An icon in the right part of the task bar indicates the presence of resident protection in the memory.
It is possible to turn off displaying of the icon - see "Program options" chapter/ "On-Access Scanner" page , "Show program icon on task bar" check box. For most users it is recommended to let the icon visible.
By clicking on this icon with the left mouse button a main window of resident protection - "Resident console" would appear.
