or is the wording wrong and the bootscan downloads new update to that component when put into schedule ?
That's why I didn't reply before, we need info from the devs, else it's a guessing game...
I feel the wording is fairly clear:
+ Boot time scan feature is now being downloaded on-demand
For me the reference to the boot time scan
feature is
now being downloaded on-demand.
To me this means the boot time scan 'feature' isn't present by default, other than a link to download it and run it as a stand alone function.
If this really is the case, I find it very hard to understand why they would remove this, what benefit does it bring in not having it available. Surely it doesn't take up much disk space or space in the setup file to make it worthy of being pushed out to the cloud.
If Avast are so concious of saving space/bloat, I can think of many other features to remove first.
