Hi, Would you be kind to elaborate. I want specific about your free av on botnet. I knew about excellent network scan and i always scan whenever i found suspicious popup or alert pop ups. I heard that botnet, does the job indirectly without having anything with network activity. Please elaborate on botnet removal of avast antivirus.
