Title: Does avast scan my pc when idle?
Post by: REDACTED on June 05, 2017, 06:48:15 AM

Lately, i have been getting pop ups of asking me to do boottime scan, and when i checked, the last msg seems to be that it has detected a thread somewhere (a dll file), the program was never run, and it was not scheduled to run automaticaly.

I also checked avast, and there isn't any automated scan. It happens most time when the PC is in idle. Which is very strange.

Any help is much appreciated.

If possible, please attach a screenshot of the bootscan pop-up.

Here's a video to demonstrate. https://streamable.com/vur7b I manually call up the last message, and this will pop up. Of course, i can't leave the PC idle to test this, but yes, when i wake it from idle this pop up always occurs.

Idk what you mean and what are those url for? Anyway, there's nothing to screenshot, it's as is, and it is what it is, a bootime scan pop up just like any other bootime scan pop up. Just for your sake, i'm attaching the picture when even the video cant explain it. https://cl.ly/2b0z2q2d2r1r

[EDIT:]  Might be why bootscan is being requested.  See below:
