How do I run a boot-time scan?
« on: May 23, 2016, 05:29:39 PM »
With the current Avast Pro user interface, I can't find a way to run the boot-time scan. How do I run one?

It is not meant to be used as a regular scanner

The Boot-time scan is an advanced and purposeful feature designed to use when you suspect a threat in the system, and usually takes some time to run. It is scheduled to run only as needed, not on a regular basis.

Thanks Pondus.

As the boot-time scan is meant to be used only as a last resort due to the way it is configured and runs, suggest following Pondus's advice and submit logs as the safer way to proceed. 

Not meant to be used as a scheduled scan.
