How To Set Up your antivirus

This page is meant to help people set up their antivirus properly to work with Shareaza. If you know how to set up an antivirus program that is not listed then please add it. If one of the instructions is wrong and you know how to fix it please do so.

Avast (version 4.7 Home Edition)

1. Using the avast tray icon(the spinning "a") and open "On-access Protection Control".
2. Click the "Details >>" button. This should open up a list of installed providers.
3. Scroll down the list of providers and select the "P2P Shield" icon.
4. Under the "Provider Actions" section, check that it is running.
   • If only the "Start" button is click-able then click it to start the P2P Shield.
   • If only "Pause" and "Terminate" are click-able then it is already running.
5. Click on the "Customize" button.
6. Ensure that "Shareaza*" is selected. (All entries should be selected by default.)
7. Click "OK" to save your settings, and "OK" again to close the "avast On-access Scanner" window.

AVG Free Edition

1. Launch AVG Control Center either through the tray icon or the start menu.
2. Select "Resident Shield" and click the "Properties" button.
3. Ensure that the "Turn on AVG Resident Shield Protection" checkbox and the "scan all files" radio button are checked.
4. It is recommended that you check all the "additional options" as well.
5. Click "OK" to close the properties window.
6. Close the AVG Control Center window.

NOD32

1. Open NOD32 Control Centre (look in system tray).
2. Go to AMON File system monitoring module.
3. Click on "Setup".
4. Tick all the boxes in the "Detection" tab

Note: This is already the default setup, so unless you have disabled your anti-virus for some (strange) reason, you're already protected.
