Sensitive Data Scan Settings
« on: January 28, 2019, 06:44:27 PM »
(Avast Free - installed yesterday)

Where to find the option to disable Scans for sensitive data?

When i go to settings and use the search bar, i cannot find it. Also i cannot find it in the old settings view.

When in the start view -> Privacy -> Sensitive Data Shield it says "Upgrade now to unlock this feature"... (https://help.avast.com/en/av_free/17/sensitivedata.html)

I don't want AVAST to sniff my files for private data...
