So you actually have a global no-exec policy in place?
Yes, if you cannot get plain English.

Actually, Avast is just yet another means of widespread and tight protection implemented by myself, which I have succesfully tested for years now. Just fine tuning the system with a new antivirus and that's why asking a simple question.


The correct word is "detuning". According to your description, a virus scanner is superfluos and therefore definitely a decrease in security.
Look up a dictionary for "overprotection", smart alec. Such policy has some advantages especially in case one of the protective means fail to work properly. But of course, Mr. Perfect does never take that into account, right? :) "Detuning" makes sense only on highly overloaded machine where a few percentage of performance matters, which is not always the case. Also not taken into account by the local security wise guy, heh?

having a bunch of unexperienced users to protect,
Why are you twisting virus scanning with protection?
Is your twisted mind trying to state that virus scanning is NOT one of the means of system protection?!
Yes, it's a trivial fact.
Gee, what bullshit! Read it aloud twice and think again what your saying, dummy.

And what is so shocking for you with regard to using the silent mode - actually implemented in lots of antivirus software.
Yes, but not for the SOHO products. I think that Avast Enterprise Edition has such client-server architecture, that's why I told you for checking if you're using the right software at all.
I already told you that for several reasons I am sticking with Avast Home Edition. Your too pompous to understand simple words people say to you. Typical for a twisted pseudo-rocket scientists.

What is so incomprehensible about predefining specific behavior of the antivirus like deleting potentially dangerous files without discussing the problem all over again with a blonde operating MS Word?!
Simply that any sane person would even think of implementing such a horribly stupid policy.
This sentence souds completely out of context, as the rest of your post actually.

Just a very standard approach.
Only as much standard as many idiot admins are actually doing that. It has nothing to do with any security or sane administration.
Oh, sure. Your that only the lonely perfect admin spreading words of wisdom. Pathetic again.

...
Pathetic again... I am speechless... Please cut it out, man. Further discussion is really pointless.
... said the dirty address faker and lurked away.
Go jump in the lake, sucker.
No regards this last time. Sorry for that :)
