I am using Avast Free 18.4.2338 and PC has just updated to Win10 version 1803 today. I had problems with UI not firing up after the 1803 update, but after a couple of re-boots that seems fixed. I am more concerned about Smart Scan, which is now different from before the Win10 1803 update.
There appears to be a mismatch between what Smart Scan does and what it is selected to do.
Smart scan does:
Virus Scan, Vulnerable Software, Browser Add-ons, Network Threats, Sensitive Data.
But corresponding Smart scan seected actions from "Menu" are:
Scan for: Viruses, outdated software, browser add-ons, network threats, compatibility issues.
So get scan for sensitive data not compatibility issues. I dont want it to scan sensitive data but there is no slider to switch that compoment off!
I have done a Avast Repair, but no change.
I dont want Avast hunting for sensitve data on my machine, but do want to use Smart Scan occasionally.
If you select "scan for viruses" only, it still does the scan for sensitive data.
Can that be fixed?
