Access MONitor (AMON) Configuration
AMON (Access MONitor) is a memory-resident (always running when
computer is on) file scanning program. Automatic starting of AMON after
computer restart is a fundamental defense against malicious code. Quitting
AMON is not recommended and should only be done under special
circumstances. Execution of two different antivirus monitors (from different
products or companies) is not recommended since it may make your
computer slower and/or cause a system crash, especially on Windows NT
systems, might lead to serious problems.
AMON is the most important line of antivirus defense. It is critically
important to keep it running at all times using the most current version
of the virus signature databases and NOD32 program upgrades. AMON
monitors all potentially threatening actions on protected computers such as
opening, executing, creating or renaming files.
IMPORTANT:
Do not enable another resident
scanner from a 2nd anti-virus
program, otherwise your system
could become unstable.
