Hi.
Is it okay to run Avast boot-time scan while my pc is still connected to the net? I'm just wondering if worms or viruses can get into my pc while doing a boot-time scan since the Avast's real-time shields and Windows firewall are not yet running during this time.
Thanks for any enlightenment.

almost noting is running at boot time.....so virus cant run
why are you running a boot time scan...any problems ?
The boot-time scanner is an expert feature, and was designed to be used when there’s something bad going on on the system.
