Title: How to automatically rescan when scheduled scan was missed?
Post by: peter.k.lauritzen on July 08, 2021, 10:27:57 AM

Under settings in avast antivirus free under the custom scan, it says that PC must be on at scheduled time for the scan to run.
But if PC is not up when scan is scheduled, how to automatically rescan when PC is up again to recover missed scan?

Afaik, there's no such option, but you can always run a scan manually.

Yes I know I can do missed scan manually.
But question was how to this automatically.
This option most other antivirus support.
So if this option is not available with avast at present, how to make feature request for this?
