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.
