So what was turned off in Avast during this test since it states you are not protected ???

Never liked tests with restrictions place on the product being tested.

Personally I can't see the point of stopping any installed component to run tests as users aren't doing that, so it is hardly a real world test. So I certainly wasn't going to site through over six minutes of video to see what other components you might have disabled.

Some who might view your clip may not take that into consideration.
