smart scan doings?
« on: January 16, 2016, 08:35:24 AM »
I am on to avast after disastrous things with avg and the pain that is avira. I just installed and got the smart scan results. I refuse to click things for automatic repairs. If I click resolve all will I get to choose from any specifics before they are done automatically? I have notices for outdated software, performance issues and weak passwords. I do not want things updated or things modified on my pc without being able to choose them first. Thanks for any help.

Hi helpful55,

I understand your concerns as I had the same ones. Rest assured that after you click "resolve all" you will be given a list of all the issues found with Smart Scan, and you can then select which ones you want to have Avast! fix. You can select any number of them. It's completely up to you.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
