10.4.2. Cache Server
The Cache Server Settings dialog refers to the cache server process designed to speed up all types
of AVG Internet Security 2012 scans:
The cache server gathers and keeps information on trustworthy files (a files is considered trustworthy
if signed with digital signature on a trustworthy source). These files are then automatically
considered to be safe, and do not need to be re-scanned; therefore these files are skipped during
scanning.
The Cache Server Settings dialog offers the following options for configuration:
Caching enabled (on by default) - uncheck the box to switch off the Cache Server, and
empty the cache memory. Please note that scanning might slow down, and overall
performance of your computer decrease, as every single file in use will be scanned for
viruses and spyware first.
Enable adding new files into cache (on by default) - uncheck the box to stop adding
more files into the cache memory. Any already cached files will be kept and used until
caching is turned off completely, or until the next update of the virus database.
Unless you have a good reason to switch the cache server off, we strongly recommend that
you keep the default settings and leave both the options on! Otherwise you may experience a
significant decrease in your system speed and performance.
