General question related to Avast WiFi Inspector
« on: June 03, 2018, 04:13:54 AM »
G'day ;)

Does Avast WiFi Inspector scan virus through a WiFi ADSL+2 modem? yes or no, because I need to fully understand in details on what Avast WiFi Inspector really scanning for.

Thank you

It isn't scanning for viruses as such, but looking for vulnerabilities.

That is a function for the other shields.

Also see https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Antivirus-FAQ, scroll down to 'What is WiFi Inspector' and expand.
