o Component change notifications (off, by default) - decide whether information regarding the
component's activity/inactivity, or its potential problem should be displayed. When reporting a
component's fault status, this option is equivalent to the informative function of the system tray
icon reporting a problem in any AVG Internet Security 2013 component.
o Resident Shield automatic threat removal notifications (on, by default) - decide whether
information regarding file saving, copying, and opening processes should be displayed or
suppressed (this configuration only appears if the Resident Shield auto-heal option is on).
o Scanning notifications (on, by default) - decide whether information upon automatic launch of
the scheduled scan, its progress, and results should be displayed.
o Firewall notifications (on, by default) - decide whether information concerning Firewall status
and processes, e.g. component's activation/deactivation warnings, possible traffic blocking etc.
should be displayed. This item provides two more specific selection options (for detailed
explanations of each of them please consult the Firewall chapter of this document):
- Network connection points (off, by default) - when connecting to a network, Firewall
informs whether it knows the network and how file and printer sharing will be set.
- Blocked applications (on, by default) - when an unknown or suspicious application is
trying to connect to a network, Firewall blocks the attempt and displays a notification. This is
useful to keep you informed, therefore we recommend to always keep the feature turned on.
o Email Scanner notifications (on, by default) - decide whether information on scanning of all
incoming and outgoing email messages should be displayed.
o Statistical notifications (on, by default) - keep the option checked to allow regular statistical
review notification to be displayed in the system tray.
o AVG Accelerator notifications (on, by default) - decide whether information on AVG
Accelerator activities should be displayed. The AVG Accelerator service allows smoother
online video playback and makes additional downloads easier.
o Boot time improvement notifications (off, by default) - decide whether you wish to be
informed about your computer boot time acceleration.
o AVG Advisor notifications (on, by default) - decide whether information upon AVG Advisor
activities should be displayed in the slide panel on the system tray.
Gaming mode
This AVG function is designed for full-screen applications where any AVG information balloons (displayed e.g.
when a scheduled scan is started) would be disturbing (they could minimize the application or corrupt its
graphics). To avoid this situation, keep the checkbox for the Enable gaming mode when a full-screen
application is executed option marked (default setting).
