Just Downloaded Avast: IS And I'm Confused On How To Properly Use It...

[Hosea Bolden]

So its up idk if its already set & running...I saw the feature of sandbox and it's on auto, so does that mean I can go to any site and it won't affect my pc even if the site has viruses?


and how do i make IS not only scan my pc but clean it?

I think you may be looking at the auto Sandbox which is different to the on demand sandbox which can sandbox your browser, open settings and click on the ? at the bottom for the help guide.

You should always try to surf the internet safely as no Anti-Virus can 100% detect and protect you all the time.

Keeping your system clean is automatic as avast is always scanning in realtime, you can add a quick or full scan set to start at a specific time once a week/fortnight for added piece of mind.

Hi, you can right click on your browser shortcut (or any program ) and choose either Run sandboxed as a on demand run or you can choose Always run sandboxed.

hope that helps.

Why not use the HELP file ? GUI> Support (in left hand tab) > top of page > HELP.
