Re: [PLUG] that's nice

[Thomas Delrue via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Then your only avenue is to actually talk to those who locked you out
and convince them to change how that task is configured... That'll
likely be a bit of an undertaking.
Just like on linux, you need permissions to modify the process you want
to modify.

There's even a chance that they themselves don't even have the ability
to change the priority of that task because it could be that it is
configured by the AV installer which obviously configures it as "Highest
Priority" because it's the only thing that matters in the world
according to itself.

You could always ask for local root as well: a no is what you have, a
yes is what you could get.
