Config 3.5?

Hi Guys,
How do I configure the Ewido 3.5 plus version for Auto Updates 'On' and the guard 'Off'. Guard still chews too much juice on my system....
TIA,
Brad.

 

afaik, i guess the guard needs to be running (but not enabled) for auto updates to work but i may be wrong. generally with the guard disabled, there shouldnt be much of an impact on performance.

 

You can click where I put the arrows:

 

And what is the use of this? If you uncheck realtime protection the guard just keeps working on 16 to 25mb or so.

 

The next version 3.6 will have the guard improved a lot, with new features, configurations, so we have to wait...

 

Thanks guys, but as far as I can see, you must hae the guard on for auto updates to enable.....
I'm pretty disappointed in the guard too. Thought it may have improved from the last version, but it hasn't. Slows this system to a crawl (P4, 2.66GHz, 512)

 

No, you don't have to have the guard enabled to use autoupdates, i don't see any slowdown btw, in fact it seems lighter here, weird.

 

the realtime scanning can be turned off while autoupdates is turned on so im not sure what u or he means. perhaps he means the driver/tray icon.

 

Thanks guys,
I meant 'installed' not 'enabled'.
I've uninstalled the guard because it chewed too much juice. The automatic updates also went. I found (I think) that even with the guard installed and disabled, it was still under taskmanager using a lot of cpu??

 

I don't use the Guard of ewido because it use much more CPU than any AV...

I'm waiting for the v3.6 to see the improvements and configuration...

 

Hi Buck

Are you sure you mean cpu & not memory? On my system Ewido uses around 17mb memory, but not much cpu....

 

Sorry, meant memory. But also Sytem Idle (cpu %) was running quite low while guard was going. Can't remember exact figures, but nowhere near the 90's where it usually runs.

 

Oh, ok, lets hope it's fixed soon, so you can also enjoy the same experience that i do.

I'm going to bed now (2 am here), not tired though, just fresh out of beer.
