How do I set up avast! to work together with the Windows Disk Protection feature from Microsoft Shared Computing Toolkit?
Microsoft Shared Computing Toolkit contains an interesting feature called Windows Disk Protection. Upon each system restart, this feature discards any changes made to the disk during a Windows session, keeping the disk contents in a well-defined, healthy condition. For example, in case of a virus infection, removal of such a virus is as simple as restart of the machine because all changes made to the disk (i.e. files, registry entries etc.) are automatically reverted with each system restart. This feature can be very useful, but needs extra attention regarding the installation of proper (wanted) updates, such as operating system updates and virus definitions updates. Windows Disk Protection provides built-in support for the installation of Windows patches as well as updates of some antivirus programs. Unfortunately, as of April 2006, avast! is not directly supported. This FAQ entry provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to configure WDP to work correctly with avast! Profess
