System tray notifications
Within this section you can suppress displaying system tray notifications on the status of the AVG Internet
Security 2014 application. By default, the system notifications are allowed to be displayed. It is highly
recommended that you keep this configuration! System notifications provide information for example on
launching the scanning or updating process, or on status changes of a AVG Internet Security 2014
component. You should certainly pay attention to these notifications!
However, if for some reason you decide that you do not wish to be informed in this way, or that you would like
only certain notifications (related to a specific AVG Internet Security 2014 component) to be displayed, you
can define and specify your preferences by checking/unchecking the following options:
Display system tray notifications (on, by default) - by default, all notifications are displayed.
Uncheck this item to completely turn off the display of all system notifications. When turned on, you
can further select what specific notifications should be displayed:
o Update notifications (on, by default) - decide whether information regarding the AVG Internet
Security 2014 update process launch, progress, and finalization should be displayed.
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 2014 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.
