9.4.3. Cache Server
The Cache Server Settings dialog refers to the cache server process designed to speed up all types of AVG
Internet Security 2014 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.
