Or does AVG scan every file that is written?
AVG Free can be set to scan either:
(a) all files of all types
(b) potentially virus-carrying files (eg executable type, double extensions, etc)
I guess that most people have got this set to (b).
Further, I would have guessed that (b) excludes INI files. However when I temporarily suspend AVG Free's "Resident Shield" then TV3 exits very quickly just like it used to in the old days! YAY!!! I guess AVG just wants to check out files like BOOT.INI. WIN.INI and maybe it goes through them line by line.
