Title: Where are the instructions for using Internet Security?
Post by: Jen47 on December 16, 2018, 03:37:18 PM

Can't find any documentation for how to set things in Internet Security nor explanation of what Security settings mean, nor even how to display them (except when Avast decides to show them).

 https://support.avast.com/ = only shows how to install Internet Security. Nothing about how to use it, how  to see and manage firewall.

  https://blog.avast.com/ = don't see anything at all in the table of  contents about Internet Security documentation.

I am looking for a basic usage manual - PDF, html, text file, anything - that documents how to use the product. It is a standard requirement for any good software to have such a document.

Whilst not user manual as such.

Avast has had a context help function if you open a section of AIS at the top right of the window there is a Menu option (also a three bars icon), that should display help information for that section.

From the main UI window using the Menu > Help function should give you a more general set of information where you can select/expand areas that you would like more information on.

Note:Basics are same for both free & Avast Internet Security except Ransomware protection and few paid extra layers.
