I believe (but can't be sure) that another anomalous thing began happening around the same time (months ago) as this, which happens only once every couple of months: I find my laptop awake when I go to wake it in the morning. After it flashes, the window of whatever program I was using is no longer active, rather the desktop is. It appears to have some small amount of text (flashes too fast to be sure).
Randomly I see a small window (maybe 2X4 inches -not centered and when using any program- on my 17in screen, windows 8.1) flash for truly a split second. I've researched quite a bit on this and am not getting useful info. thanks for clarifications and an offer to hear my other odd thing. I'm using a computer browser, if that makes a difference.ĭavidR.
Thank you Pondus, though I just see that "notify" option. Should I have received an email or a notification on my profile here? Even looking at the feed for this topic I couldn't find my question, had to use search to find it. And thanks rocksteady, between the three of you I think I'm good to go.īy the way, I was not notified of these replies, and even after opening up the forum (logged in) I still found no evidence. (?) I do have an odd thing happening for which, between Avast and Malwarebytes I had hoped to catch. Maybe the next time I worry about a possible infection I'll go back to Full Scan and assume, if it takes longer, it is more thorough. Thank you Bob for the video, it is very clear.
#Avast malware scan vs virus scan manual#
Is there another kind of scan that is not a scheduled/manual scan? Or is your point that the automated background activity, even on the free version, catches all that a manual scan would already? When I do a smart scan it is finding any problems, even in the advanced section (which Bob explained specifically pertains to paid components). When I asked about the difference it is maybe a much simpler question: what each does (the same thing or different things, or one is more thorough, etc). Thanks DavidR, I was hoping to avoid reference to the paid version, as this is not a factor for me.
